Oh, I just noticed something in your photo. You purchased the MK 2.5 pink BB adjusters, and the central titanium 2.5 mm rod ends. The pink BB adjusters are too large for 2.5 mm threads. Please do yourself a huge favor, and trade those in for 2.0 mm white BB adjusters. You could crash otherwise. They may appear to fit ok, but they will slip under any load. I had a very wild trim flight using these. The BB horn clevis should fit 2.5 mm ok.
Nice plane and accessories BTW.

Hi David,
I've got a question about the 2.5 mm BB adjusters.
Is the comment you made due to the material or due to the size of the hole?
I'd like to use these 2,5 mm adjusters in combination with 3 mm. threads, would that be a good combination?
I realy hope so because I've already unpacked them, so I won't be able to trade them in.
I'll be using them on a HighSociety F3a. (siegel/lorenz)

The size of the hole is too large for the 2.5 mm threads. The material is just fine. The hole size on some of these is a slip fit, and you know immediately that it it too large. But on others, it seems that the fit is snug, but it is not and will slip once a load is applied.
3mm threads and the 2.5 mm BB adjusters is a good match. I think 4-40 threads is also a snug fit.
