Kahlog (and all others), It looks like you have EZ connectors on your servo for your elevater connections. PLEASE replace those with a Z bend. Those types of connecters can and do fail and ARE NOT legal in many AMA events for that reason. I know, they came with the plane but the manufacturer is WRONG! I wish they would not send those out with these ARFs. Just another aspect of the hardware package that should not be used. After your great test flight, I want to see your 109 around for a while. It is a great looking plane.

I honestly dont like Z-bends. I had a pair of the z-bend pliers but they were no good for 4-40. In fact, I tried making z-bends for this plane and it bent the pliers instead of correctly forming the z-bend. As for the EZ connectors, while they may not be AMA legal in certain events, ive had no problems with them on either the KMP or CMP planes. I did flat spot the control rod for the setscrew hex bolt and also locktited it down. Hopefully it'll hold. They are also Dubro brand. The ones on the elvator did not come with the planes hardware package, but the ones for the flaps and ailerons did.
That being said, I will consider other options down the road since the current setup is already in place. I have a spare plane, so if something does happen and its the fault of the EZ connectors, ill build the 2nd one differently.
