Make sure your controls don't bind (something you should do anyway) and go with them. Keep an eye on your battery charge levels with an ESV and/or get a bigger battery pack. The industry is heading toward digitals anyway, you're just leading the way.
Thanks Bruce,
I was setting up the controls and noticed some binding while using the metal rods especially in the throttle. Even though it has a very gentle radius to negotiate, I noticed some stiffness when compared to its' straight through position.
I can either reduce the radius by relocating acces hole through the F1 former or use some other type of control rod. The only drawback with #1 this is that the rod will take up some space in the fuel tank compartment and result in the foam surround there compressing a bit.
For #2, I was thinking I could use some Sullivan Golden Rod left over from the rudder control.
I didn't feel comfortable using the balsa and thread method. Well that and the golden rods are very easy to work with.
