Replace Broken RC Plane Clevis Retainers for Less Than One Dollar!

[laxguitar50]

i used a zip tie and it works great =]

i think there really called texas handcuffs

[mrfourtysevenman]

are those plastic things important?

i mean like code red?

[laxguitar50]

if u dont have them there is about a 3/4 chance that your push rod will pop off your control horn resulting in a loss of that control suface

[rcmotorsect]

well, it may be bad if yourflying a fasst jet, and your control surface breaks off, so it hitts your buddy in the head and breaks a winshield on a car on the freeway!

no, but it is bad if you lose control of your plane (bad)

tape works good too

[joehandsome99]

Tape works also, but the fuel tubing is cleaner and reusable.

[NightFlyyer]

Great reminder. Ive been doing that for years, and glad to see you introducing the new generation of fliers of how great that old trick still works. 5 stars.

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for the comment and rating Dave. It's very much appreciated.

[joehandsome99]

I have been flying my typhoon for 2 years now and the retainers dry rotted so they were in need of replacing. Thanks for watching and the comment jumpilot55.

[dragoncom98]

Discovered long time ago

[joehandsome99]

And it is still a useful tip to the new RC'ers.

[helicopterkid1996]

wow..perfect timing. Just fixing my trojan up for the first flight of the spring. Needed one of them and thanks to you I made one cheap!

[joehandsome99]

Thats great news. Thanks for letting us know it worked for you HCK.

[iCabSC]

[joehandsome99]

I frequently go to the hobby town USA in Augusta, Ga. icabsc. Dave and Debbie know me well. lol...

[iCabSC]

[iCabSC]

[joehandsome99]

Glad the video helped icabsc.

[horizonflyer9]

simple+effective+cheap=great idea

[joehandsome99]

Sure is, thanks for watching and the comment horizonflyer9.

[startazz]

Yep sure was a great idea mate and shall use it as i think i just might have some of that in my r/c tool box,Eric is that the go pro camera mount on the bottom of your typhoon? great vid by the way my friend 5*

[joehandsome99]

Yes, that is the mount for my go pro camera. I made a flight video right after making this video. It will be up soon. Thanks for watching startazz.

[moolikeacow2]

Good info, Eric. The little tips always help.

[joehandsome99]

Thanks for watching and the comment moolikeacow2.

[Winston51249]

Great idea. I'd have never thought of that. That rubber tubing is also good for sneaking a drink from the guy at the table behind you at a fancy restaurant.

[joehandsome99]

Yet another good use for nitro fuel tubing. lol.. Thanks for the comment Jeff.

[stevetinyhallman]

Good info

[joehandsome99]

Thanks Steve.

[rjanis123]

well made video .. I gotta ask though .. because mostly I watch you for magix tutorials.. what settings did you use? and what format?

sorry to bother .. but I've almost figured out how to get magix to make HD consistently ..

Peace :):)

[joehandsome99]

I will be making a video tutorial on that real soon rjanis123.

[rjanis123]

thanks.. and sorry to bug you bro

again congrats on making partner

Peace :):)

Ron

[joehandsome99]

No problem at all. It's good to remind me so I know what videos I need to work on. Thanks rjanis123.

[youtwoba]

Brilliant Eric, where can I get some tubing and how much?lol. Now lets see 3d with that mutha!

[joehandsome99]

Your local hobby shop should have the nitro fuel tubing and will usually sell it by the foot. I have another video of this plane coming up real soon. Thanks Youtwoba.
