Thanks happypappy for the info. I just looked at mine again and the elevator rod goes through two frames on it's way back to the elevator and it is inside a plastic tube. Mine is pretty stiff and doesn't look like it could flex much at all. I am wondering if there was a change to the linkage once they found out??

I am glad to see a little activity on this airplane as I was begining to think I was the only person to buy one! I have had a blast with all of mine and hope to get the first flight on my Big Bee soon. Many thanks to Andy Clancy for a great design...Brian
