I opted to go with all Dubro heavy duty hardware and 4-40's all the way around. I am glad too because the rudder and elevator rods vibrate like guitar strings when it is sitting at idol! 2-56 would probably bend up on my plane. But then again i am running a Brison 2.4 up front. Overpowered yes but it is a blast to fly! I put a throttle curve in it and it is just a blast! UNLIMITED VERTICLE!!! Hovers at 1/4 throttle!
