One thing I've noticed that I don't like is how there is a small amount of slop (gap) between the pin on the clevis and the control horns for the ailerons. It's not much, but all previous planes I've built, I've minimized this as much as possible. The nylon parts are not even GP (Great Planes) manufacture. Probably Chinese origin hardware. Going to have to seriously think about how I'm going to address this small problem. Probably same problem in the tail.

Time to visit DuBro for some good clevises and maybe even the horns. Depends on your pocket book and your patience.
