Chewy:

Will tend to agree with you. Had the elevator fixture come loose yesterday but with enough friction to get it down safely, a small 30" foamy. A little thin CA and away we go. Think a little CA on all of them may be a good idea, or red locktite. The roughed up metal rod with Z bend wound tightly with strong thread and then thin CA'd seems to be the best overall solution. Have never had the attachment from metal to carbon fiber fail. (yet) ENJOY
