I am using the supplied pushrods for the elevators. I am not goind to be doing a lot of acrobatics with mine so i don't think it will matter. If i was planning on doing loops and other stressful maneuvers than i would probably go with wire in plastic tubing all the way back like what came with my gp RV-4 kit. Mine doesn't have a lot of flex on it so it should be ok for conservative flying.

I am still waiting on the windshield.
