We discussed the control rods at length earlier in the thread. As was mentioned prior, no matter how stiff the rods the Y rod can lead to movement in the elevator due to flexing unless you use a U shaped rod to join the elevator halves. I added the U shaped wire, stiffened up the rods with carbon fibre tubes inside and replaced the wires with 4-40 size and terminated with theaded connectors. Adding some bracing in the center of the fuse and I have a very solid control set. I would agree that those EZ connectors should not be used on the elevator or ailerons.
