actually no I have if you look at the photo a easy link on the throttle servo and the retract gear, I just ordered some dies and taps from tower which arrived with the ball link thing... I intend to remove them, cut the rods to the correct length and tap a thread on them then screw on a clevis and make it safe, the easy link idea has never sat well with me, JB weld or not, I also have to get my fancy new grinder and tidy up the epoxy
