Charlie,
I agree with you 100% I would'nt use EZ connectors on a $50 foamie. You might as well fly with micro servos.

In fact, I would'nt even use a L-bend, or a Z bend either. Metal clevis or a ball link is a must on a 60 size plane.

If you have to bend wire, just heat it up with a torch.

Bruce,
The law of averages is going to catch up with you.[X(] I've seen it happen dozen times.
