Crash, I had to use an xactao knife to whittle/cut away a small amount of wood to allow for the plastic tubing to fit. It is tight. But I have an oversized 11 oz fuel tank. Anyways, I've gone to a Syluvan flexible tubing and cable throttle linkage. They are really cool, light, and will flex around all the corners/bends etc. I also like the way the allen set screw tightens against the cable better than a rod. But be sure an anchor/glue/sew the tubing near the throttle linkage and servo arm or you'll get a little flex which can cause delay throttle spool up.
