I wasn't thrilled with the extremely fine elevon pushrod wire. It might have been the absolute lightest for the job, but seemed way too flexible for a plane I intend to last for awhile. They seem to have made every choice lean toward 'ultimate contest' construction at the risk of longevity. I've got the contest gliders that competed for me in the 80s. They have the trophies to show they were light enough and nothing has failed or worn out. I'm not sure their pushrod wire isn't so thin it won't cut through their circuitboard horns.

So I up-sized the pushrod wire to something like .037". That's still smaller than I've ever used. I had some plastic tubing it fit with a lot less slop than the OEM wire/tube. I guarantee the extra weight isn't extra weight. In fact, don't plan of your LiPo riding where their pictures show it. Mine is just about as far aft as there is room. Which puts it back where the wing connector wires need room for stowage btw.

The Avia really is a 'serious' glider, at least its design leans that way on everything.
