Hi folks.

Getting ready for final assembly of my first kit, a GP .60 Cub. The hardware provided for the kit is steel rods with solder clevises on one end, threaded clevises for the control ends. The rod is too thick I think to make z-bends for attatching to the servos.

I have never soldered before, the instructions say to use acid flux and silver solder. Assuming I do that, any advice for the process of securing the solder clevises? Is this a good setup or would I be better off buying new double threaded control rods? I want to experiment with different techniques, but am afraid it will not be strong enough and I will lose my plane.

Ideas?
