Default RE: Exceed RC J3 Piper Cub Clevis

I cannot give you 100% assurance that everything will just snap in, so to speak.

However yes they will fit, with some work on your part.

The clevis I listed has that gold end cap, which gets affixed to your existing pushrod.

You may have to solder it in place, which is the easiest way to do it, however you must be very careful to have the pushrod at the right length.

If the pushrod is too short ( see below ) this may be easier for you if you do not already have the proper tools...

-

The EZ connectors are much simpler to install... but it requires that the existing pushrod be LONGER than what you may have in place already...

If you level the controls and control surface, does the control rod extend beyond the horn by at least 1/4" ?

If so you will have no problems installing the EZ connector..


If not, you will have to replace the control rod with a longer one... typically you make your own using a wire bending tool.
