Aileron servo mounting. Changed to button head machine screws for all. Using Dubro Monster links with Hangar 9 titanium pushrods. The factory provided provided links were machined aluminum with brass inserts; these varied wildly in tolerances with balls falling out and pushrod threads very loose - toss in the trash! Used the two best aluminum links on the outer TV pushrod ends.

The control horns are steel (I painted) screwed to internal blocks. The screws provided were tiny and only two at each horn. I added the four larger button head wood screws in the outer holes.

The servo L mounts were provided and work OK. When in place the servo plates sat lower than the wing skin so I added 1 mm fiberglass at the corners - a lot stronger too.

Again, tiny little screws were provided to attach the servo plates. I replaced with 4-40 button head screws and t-nuts, lock-tited of course.

The rudder servo provided was a mini but I'm using a standard size MKS. Plate was already drilled so I added 1mm FG on the back, filled the holes and redrilled. Fin was plenty deep to fit the standard servo.
