I recently purchased an older VQ models Macchi 205 ARF. This is a slightly older kit. It does have the fiberglass cowling but it has the cheap wood dowel control rods. The elevator control rod in particular is very cheap and will end up causing alot of elevator flutter. It is basically a wood dowel with a Y shaped fork at the end where the two metal pushrods are taped.

How can I fix this and make it stronger or better? I can't reach far enough inside the fuselage to fix or attach new pushrods to the fuse frames. I am sure someone out there has had this plane and can help me out.
