Default RE: Z bend



It's easy to get confused.  The OP said Z bend.  Another said EZ Links, and yet a third said EZ Connectors.  Almost to many ZZZZ's.</p>

EZ Links:  http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXAZC3&amp;P=0</p>

EZ Connectors:  http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXD925&amp;P=7</p>

Z Bend:  http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...XL475&amp;P=ML</p>

Personally, I use the EZ Connector only oh the throttle, and the EZ Link on the servo end of all of my control surface linkage  with a securing type clevis (Safety Lock Kwik Link) on the control surface end of the linkage.</p>

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXWH33&amp;P=7  (This one is 2-56.  They also make them in 4-40)</p>

The problem I found with Z bends is that the perpendicular part is not exactly 90 degrees and will cause minor binding and some wear in the servo arm hole... at least that's what I think would happen.  So, I make a 90 and use the EZ Links listed above.  Ummmm.. in all my years... ahem..  I've never had one fail.  Never.. umm.. that's in all my years.  Ok..ok.. </p>
