Hey Guys, thank you for your opinions; that's exactly what I wanted to hear - several different opinions with reasoning behind them.
Campy and MinnFlyer: That's the way I installed the EZ connectors: Find the right spot, mark it, grind a flat spot about 1/2" both ways from the mark, set it right and use blue locktite, and screw it down tight. I always check the linkage screws after each flight for the first three flights, then about each month after that. Oh yeah - I only use the metal clips to attach them to the servos. In fact, I have a box of a dozen for replacements when I have to take one off.
I have never tried the Robart ends or the Hayes clevises, but will probably get some on my next Tower Hobbies order.
Airbusdrvr: I had ordered my Venture 60 a few years ago, after Bruce stopped and re-started production of them. I was on his "waiting list" for over a year, I think. I just got around to building it last month while re-cuperating from surgery. I watched your thread with great interest while you were doing yours; in fact, I wrote you a question regarding the hatch on yours. FYI, I am not putting on on mine, altho I did move the landing gear forward 1/2" as you did.
Thanks again for all of your comments.
