I was a bit concerned about the entire nyrod setup on these elevators because I really couldn't anchor them as many places as I'd have liked due to the fuse being fully sheeted when I got it. I must say however, that the whole thing is much stiffer and more positive than I would have imagined. Each nyrod is only driving half of the elevator...I don't know, you may have a point, maybe I'll replace those last couple of inches with metal. Or maybe I'll just fly it and see how it feels in the air.
