Fastlink connectors
For the last few years, I have used connectors that only need a single right angle bend (I think they are called fastlink)omstead pf a Z bemd. , without failur until a couple of days ago. The fastlink came loose on the rudder (just after the motor cut) and I landed without mishap, but it sure unnerved me.
I don't really want to change out this control rod if there is a good way to secure the fastlink (have thought of a small rubber tube like is used on the control servace end to keep the clevis secure. Any problems with this. Are fastlinks a dangerous route to take?
