RE: Direct servo connection to control surface question
The RADS setup I use are rock solid ! You have to build the pocket with a slight interference sliding fit.
The play won't necessarily be worse but with a conventional horned system where you use a longer control horn than servo arm you can diminish the amount of play at the back of the surface as well as increase mechanical advantage. The RADS system allows you to increase mechanical advantage by changing the bend in the wire.
