Klett is hard to get and $ not cheap by all means but I have found it is about the best one made. I switched to sullivan it's ok on my Balsa Nova it is getting week and I have to re-bend about every time I fly it. Esprit Model make A new one $17 ea I may try on my 40 size planes allot like the Klett but metal.

Use Sullivans. They're easy to install, trouble free, protect your rudder servo from shock and costs less than $8.00.
