Default RE: Kyosho Osmose 70, Sort of build thread (slow..)

Dear Atlanta; Good advise on the "barrel connector". Im just about finished with my Osmose and thought I would check the forum to see how other planes like mine were looking. I personally would never use that connector on any control service. Sure there are those who will claim that they have used this connector succesfully for hundreds of flight with no problems, but it is very "sketchy". There are too many other viable alternatives, the barrel connector being the worst. I'd much rather see the end of the rod bent at a 90 degree angle with a plastic "keeper" at the bare minimum.
