Yep, they're cheap and plasticy alright, but they work a charm and for $7...nothing to complain about at all. Have just put them on a Radian and boy do they kill the glide! I needed to mix in about 25pcnt of up elevator to keep things level. Used hot glue to keep them in place - probably not ideal but seemed to work fine. Very good value. Just with I had another spare lever or rotary dial on the tx to operate them rather than full on or off.

I have used these twice now in e converted Birds of Time,3m wingspan,they produce a slight nose down condition when deployed ,it reduces the fear of losing the model as it often thermals to speck height ,without much help from me!!!!.

Any 5-9g servo will work fine ,with the shortest sevo arm fitted so that it will fit within the thickness of the wing .



An exellent totally useable product.

I bought two pairs. Of the four brakes, one has a problem where it sometimes gets stuck and doesn't close all the way, and the brake has to be manually jiggled to get it back down.

I would definitely spend the extra money for the $20 metal pair that HobbyKing also sells. These are just a bit too flimsy. I would definitely not use these on a larger or heavier glider - they are really only suited to light-weight 2M class gliders.

To see them in action on the HK Fox search youtube "Fox air brake landing" They make it very easy to land where you want!!

Bought those to put on a glider, plastic quality is so bad that just putting & removing tape made the plastic bend, i needed to do that for a paint job. i tried to heat up the plastic and it got worst, to the point that i removed them & in the garbage. i ll put flap instead.

They do the job, way to good. I put them on a plane, it didn't fly anymore, it just fell down like a brick. You just don't want this on your plane.



I fixed them on a axn floaterjet (1.6meter semi-glider), crap.



3 stars for doing what they should, but way to big for anything smaller than 2.5 meters.

Great product. Will fit them to a 2m electric glider. They work very well. I recommend them. 9 gr. servo operates each one faultlessly.
