I just started my Tiger 60 kit. Actually I've been rereading instructions and inspecting the stock. building starts tonight.
Its been years since I built and when I opened the box I was overwhelmed a bit but after looking things over it wont be bad..

I've been looking at the Tiger 60 build threads but I havent seen anything yet on connecting the control surfaces. the kit uses wood stock with wire attached at each end.. I've never liked this method and prefer some kind of sleeve with a rod running through it. I've used both metal and plastic rods..

Any word on what you guys are using here?

Also, this is my first experience with a laser cut kit.. Very nice!

I'm still debating building to the plans or incorporating some of the mods in the build threads?

I'll probably increase the size of the rudder an inch or so... And I'll do something to the inside of the cockpit just cause I want to...

I've used wooden pusrods many times and they work quite well. If you want to get fancy, you could go with Carbon Fiber pushrods, they are available reasonably at www.darrolcady.com

Many years ago the wood pushrods is the only way we knew how to do it and they worked fine. Today of course most all are done using a plastic tube and wire. Your choice.

I use the Dave Brown push rods. I think Tower sells them.
