First of all, how did you end up with a Venture 60? I scrounged for months and finally found one last fall. To your question. I have found the Hayes nylon clevis with steel pins are a good for rod ends, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXK847&P=ML . Ever since I had an elevator metal clevis come loose from vibration(and lost the plane) I have used the nylon clevis. The metal rod to metal clevis has just enough tolerance looseness at the threads that vibration over time can wear the clevis threads. Oh, my Venture was just finished in Dec 07 and is now my everyday flier.
That's one of the reasons to use a jamb nut to snug against the clevis once it is adjusted. The jamb nut will also prevent any radio interference from metal to metal intermitent contact.
