I put a 90 degree bend in the rod at the servo end. Run it up through the servo, and put a 1/16" wheel collar on it. Drill it out with a 5/64 drill if you are using pushrod material thicker than 1/16 piano wire. "Will it hold?" guys ask..... It holds your tail wheels on under a lot more stress doesn't it? At the other end, I usually use the black Hayes klevis with the steel pin. (Used to be Kraft-Hayes). This has worked well for me for many moons....
