Hangar 9 150 size P-51
To the folks who replaced all the control hardware: How did you run the 4-40 rods throught those tiny plastic tubes to the elevator and rudder? You must have had to replace them with larger diameter tubes since a 4-40 rod won't slip through the ones already in the fuselage.
The supplied elevator and rudder wire and hardware is 2-56, and while the plastic clevises in my kit will be put in a safe place until a smaller plane requires their use, I really can't see why the rods can't be used with sturdier metal clevises. The plastic keeper devices at the servo arm only holds the wire in the arm. All the force is between the wire and the arm, not the keeper.
Also, the aileron and flap rods and hardware are already 4-40, and the clevises seem up to the task. Why would you need to replace them?
