What are these things called?


Recommended Posts

Probably daft question time but I'm hooking up a v-tail on a glider and (you know how it is) I've loads of these 'barrel-type/cylinder horns' but none that fit the 2mm threaded shafts on the v-tail. 

 

In searching for some new ones I'm struggling to find them at retailers and wondered if I'm putting the right words in the search box?

I'm not sure they are available separately, David, they are usually supplied as part of an aileron torque arm set.

 

An alternative would be to use a 2mm ball link held in place with a nut either side. That would probably be better anyway, as it would take up any angular movement as the control arm moves through its arc.
