Status: offline 		Every ARF and new kit I have seemed to come with cheap hard plastic clevises. They should either put in good stuff or none at all to prevent accidents like what happened to you. As habit, every new kit or arf I buy, I either order metal hardware or respected flexible hardware such as Robart or Dubro. It's well worth the extra cost.

Status: offline 		It's a conspiracy between the Manufacturers to put in weak links in their products so that we all end up buying more Airplanes...
