During assembly on the Kingtech T-1 I noticed the ball links in my opinion are made backwards. Ball links are made so that when they come apart they can only go one way. Well these ball links with the kit when the link pops off the ball it goes the wrong way so that you would loose control of the surface. When I hook up ball links I always make sure the no go side faces out so if it does fail it will fail inward towards the linkage so you dont loose the plane.
Options
>Use different linkages
>Remove the ball and insert it from the opposite direction so it cant fail to the outside. (this is what I did because I dont have time to get new ones)
>use a flat washer so if it does pop off the washer will save it from coming all the way off.
My recommendation would be to get new ones if possible.
We will be upfront and honest about the good and bad that we find with this plane. I will talk to the factory and see if they can make a change to linkages before they go out but not sure if the changes will take effect before then.
