RE: control rod installation
You'll get all kinds of differnt personal opinions concerning the EZ connectors. I use them on nose wheel steering and throttle. For elevator and rudder I prefer the rod to be a carbon fiber shaft with 4-40, or 2-56 rod threaded at one end and a Dubro HD clevis at the control surface. As for the servo, I like to use a ball joint. The type that uses a small nut and screw to attach.
