RE: z-bends or quick connects
i use solder connectors at the servos,and much agree with RCKEN,if you are comfortable with soldering then go that route but for peace of mind you cant go wrong with a zbend.at the control surface end i always lock my clevises with a piece of fuel tubing,hard landings can cause the ends to come lose especially on the plastic clevises.the more simple a connection is most of the time the less that can break.
