If you think the clevis is crap, then:

1. throw away the tailpipe, P.O.S.
2. Do not use Cermark's landing gear, use Tam's instead, Cermark's is crap
3. Remove all Monokote and replace with fiberglass, PPG, and a good clearcoat as the covering peels off in flight
4. throw away the breaks as they are not proportional, piece of crap
5. reinforce the nose as it is too weak, instead make it heavier and beefier
6. Don't even get me started on the exposed rudder link! [:@]
7. Paint the exhaust white, as not all of it should be silver
8. Add BVM heat shield to the whole fuselage inside
9. add K36 primer to the inside of the fuselage because the fuel tanks will leak some, eventually
10. Have someone make some custom Kevlar tanks, the Cermark ones are crap

or

You can keep it under perspective, use the existing hardware and have an absolute BLAST!
No point in changing the crappy hardware and leaving the rest of the crap in the model.

I battle tested, abused, rebuilt, repair, soaked in fuel, burned and still the airplane rocked. Sold it nad made a profit too.

I miss my Cermark []
