Here's what I did w/ my verticle stabilizer. If you just epoxy it onto the fuse, it'll vibrate and shake like no other. So, rather than adding triangle stock, (which, i'm sure will work since others have done it), I drilled 4 1/8" holes straight up the vert stabilizer, and 4 corresponding holes into the fuse. Then I glued 1" long dowels (of course they were 1/8" diameter) into the vert stabilizer, I used titebond to do this, dont use Ca. But to get the dowels into the stabilizer, you have to do a little work to the dowels. You have to make a spiral up the dowel so the glue has someplace to go when you stuff them into the holes since it'll be a tight fit. Then I put a very nice helping of wood glue all along the glue line, and even in the holes, and stuff the dowels down into the holes until it was a tight fit. All you gotta do is wipe off the excess glue and you're set. It'll have the same look as it did from the factory, but stronger.

If you want to try that, and dont quite understand what I just said, I'll try to draw up what I was talkin about.

For the push rods, I would try to find something stiffer than those flimsy ones they give you that attach to the vert stab, and the elevator, they sag, no matter how hard you try to get them to be in a straight line from servo to elevator or vert stab. The straighter they are, the less friction, which leads to longer life of the servo and battery.

More experienced pilots can probably give better advice than me. But that's just my two cents.
