Default 4* Control Hardware

A few questions after inspecting the included hardware with the Sig 4*-40 ARF:

1. Throttle control is with a 3.2mm nylon rod. Is this OK or should it be replaced with rod or wire? Note I will use [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD929]Dubro[/link] E/Z connector on the servo end.

2. I am replacing the clevis supplied with [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXWH36]Dubro[/link] Safety Lock Kwik links at the control horn end. My question is should I use the supplied clevis on the servo end or something else? See photo for what is supplied.

The rudder and elevator have 3.2mm nylon control rods...I will give these a try before replacing.

Finally, does anyone have a photo or measurements for the aileron servo tray? It is supposed to have a doubler on one end but this one did not come with one. I have some 1/8" ply I can cut but I am not sure how much should be doubled.

Thanks.
