Would a turnbuckle and ball end be much heavier?
Good observation. I used parts I had on hand. I would need 2" turnbuckles and some more 2-56 ball links. It may be slightly heavier but only maybe 5g per servo. I have only located Seacraft 50mm long x 3mm thread aluminum turnbuckles sold by F3A Unlimited. If I need to replace the servos, that what I will use.

I don't have a picture of the finished and assembled airplane. Final Andes weight ended up at 4940g. If our weather clears up and the winds die down, hope to maiden the plane next week.
