Glitch free METAL gasser pushrods....with nylon ball links on BOTH ends.</p>

Interesting to note such a wide variety of installations and so many not following ANY manufacturer's guidelines, by MANY highly-experienced people who wouldn't do something guaranteed to crash their airplanes - there just aren't that many of us with that much money to throw away.</p>

BTW - not that it means anything - for many, many years, and even in the build manual, Quique Somenzini uses a "pull cable", usually Kevlar, tied to the servo arm and the throttle plate, leaving the carburetor return spring connected.  I didn't believe it either until I saw the "how to" outlined in the Yak-54 build manual he wrote.  I'm thinking he likely wouldn't do something with a high likelihood of failure, but that's just a guess.</p>

Manufacturers frequently provide recommendations which are the safeguards dictated by their stop-loss insurance providers.......</p>
