fly3Dnyc,
My hinge gaps are sealed and ready to go!
I am also surprised that you say the 4-40 rods aren't enough. As short as they are, I would think they would do fine. I haven't heard of anyone else saying their 4-40 threaded rod links were inadequate.

mrc,
Do you think your 4-40 rod was bent due to the servo coming loose and flopping in the wind? Thanks.
I have 4-40 rods on the ailerons myself, and now you guys have me worried!
