First, let me thank all of you who respond so willingly to FNG's questions. We used to make a big joke out of sending FNG's after radar reflecting paint, and now they actually have it! So bear with me while I fall off this turnip truck... I'm building my first kit, second plane, a Sig SE;

1) Are Dubro swivel ball links and safety quick links a good value upgrade for my fuse mounted pull-pull set-ups? Should I consider other (better) types? If so, which? Do you even use the nylon stuff supplied with kits?

2) I can not for the life of me figure what is a good value in control horns. $3.50/pr for sullivan metal seems high, and do I need left/right, and of what size? Are Hayes nylon at $.50/pr good enough? Recommendations requested.

3) Why didn't anyone tell me that $500 is to RC what swizzling a toe is to swimming?

I have a vision in my head of you guys hanging around in raincoats saying "Hey buddy, wanna buy an airplane?"!
Seriously, this site has been a real treat.

Cheers
