Well for my set up (for the control rods) I found some carbon fiber tube type stuff from Tower (I think that's where I got it) and put some cut off sections of 2-56 threaded end in the GF tube and also put a little band of aluminum tube on the end where the 2-56 goes into to keep it from splitting. For the servo horns, I wanted to extend them a little and found that Dubro has a pack of longer ones that did the trick. They were a little pricey though but they work good. And as far as the landing gear I took it all apart and reglued and stuff and it's plenty strong now. I've bounce it in more than a few times and it's almost idiot proof. Well, nothing's fool proof to a competant idiot but you get the idea. [:-] I'm sure if I bashed it in hard enough it would just break something else then I would be saying " honey I need another UCD " [X(]
