z bender I use the z bend at the servo side then. But better yet I've been using these and they are awsome. e z links just make one 90 and hack off the end

use it on a threaded end push rod and use a clevis on the control surface side.You only have to be within a 1/8 inch which is allot of wiggle room. I was leary of them at first but they held up on everything from 40 sided aerobat to 1/4 stuff.
