I wasn't sure about the ratio, I thought that the elevator should have more deflection than the flap, say 1.5 to 1. But I will check the plans and see what they show. I really trust the clevises, but I thread all my rods and there is no slop in them. I use a split die and I open it up to give a slightly larger O.D. on the finished threads. The clevis fits better on my rods than a 4-40 nut on the same rod. Then they are LocTited with blue LocTite and never move unless I move them. I have used them on my R/C planes ever since I have been flying. My 3D plane is severely thrown around the sky and I have tried to get a failure from any of my construction but haven't. My pattern plane can reverse roll directions in an instant . I try to see if anything will break so that I will know how far to push the flight envelope and if it does then build it better.
This is not a show plane that I am building, that's for later. This is going to be used hard and often, whenever I can step out the back door and the weather is good. Here's my Twister and I'm still making a few final adjustments to it.
