Thanks Skip,
It makes for a very strong slop free linkage.

I just made up my control rods but was going to buy some carbon fiber rods to slip over my 4-40s. I just happen to have several tubes full of aluminum tubing so I will see if I have any with the 4-40 ID and give it a shot. Never once have I given that a thought. Cool!!!
GB,
Let me know what you think. The beauty of the aluminum tubes are you can cut them to length with an x-acto knife. I cut them just oversized then sand them to length to get a perfect fit. Also if you are using ball link ends the aluminum will compress into the ball link when tightening for a solid fit.
Later!!
