Wow. thanks for all the insightful comments guys. This helps out a bunch. I never knew that the forces on a plane were so great. I'll have to triple check my control linkages. Also, I had another question. Do fiberglass control rods flex? Because I'm looking for a pushrod that's still like metal, but is made out of some other material that's lighter and non-conductive.
Thanks again,
Johnny
Try carbon fiber. Slightly pricey but great.
