super chipmunk tailwheel ?
Cant wait to finish up my super chipmunk with a G-26
Im considering using 4-40 rod for steering linkage and rudder instead of pull-pull wire. Is this advisable? or should I stick with pull-pull cable.
I prefer more direct steering with control rods. What do you think?

pull pull setups are far more positive, less slop, and lighter.
As a matter of fact most of my planes are set up with pull pull rather than control rods on the rudder and elevators due to weight and more positive control.

I have a Goldburg Ultimate I have pull pull on the rudder that I have attached with rod to the tail wheel tiller rod. In other words i removed the springs. works well especially on high rates, can turn on a dime
