Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Hi,
As a former Hellcat flyer on active Navy duty, I have followed your detailing with admiration! The more effort that goes into detailing, the more precious the model becomes.
That being said, and as an active RC modeler, I view with alarm some of your control set-ups! I have come to respect the wisdom of MURPHY the longer that I live. When you use Quick Connectors, especially on primary flight controls, you invite the screw becoming loose and control failure-'If a thing can happen, it will'- and how many times have I heard the post-crash wail 'But I CA'd the screws' This admonition is especially aimed at the users of gasoline engines which in general produce a higher vibration environment.
Z-bends on one end, metal clevis attachments for adjustment on the other.
respectfully,
hookem
