Easy Control Linkages for RC Airplanes
In this video I'll discuss and demonstrate easy control linkages for RC airplanes. There are many methods to connect a servo arm to an airplane control surface. An easy control approach is to use Dubron EX connectors. These connectors allow for simple adjustment of the control surface, but do take up a bit of space.
A second method to provide a linkage from the smaller RC plane to the control horn is via the heat shrink tubing process with overlapping music wire. Again, another very simple and easy control linkage approach.
