I know most people just live with it but I was thinking of maybe putting a ball joint or something there.
Just bend the rods out, then back in to line up with the control horns,, like a large Z-bend, that takes all the side force out, the wire is still plenty stiff with the bends
This is a long proven method used on much higher performance planes that the Chippy, you'll be fine
good luck
