Yes Shaun has been great!
Tom, I used monster ball links with thin CA on my SM F-18 and I did not notice any play. Either manipulating the finished pushrod (Ball links installed on both ends) with my hands or in place, I still did not get any play. Only from the 8711 geartrain. I guess I will just get going and see what happens. Im sure you know better than me and I have only heard great things about this jet but I just cant deal with play on the stabs. Sleeping pills wont help either

.
If for some reason there is play with this setup I will go for the blocks with a clevis on the servo side.
