Carbonfiber control links?
 
Has anyone used these?
Are they reliable?
I am afraid to try these, just worried to death the ends will pull out.
The application will be on a 27% Edge 540, this will be a high stress application (elevators)
Any thoughts?

i have used these on various project and they hold together very well using exopy. its funny i had the same concerns when i 1st use them. you look at a plane doing a knife edge loop and realize the fin for the rudder is just glued on with a butt joint and that thing holds helps to really see the power of exopy and ca' glues.

I'm using the Cental Hobbies ones with the titanium inserts on a 29% AW Edge. They work great. I also used black CA to hold them in - my personal pull tests showed it worked better than the JB weld that was recommended. I also slipped an aluminum ring over each end to keep them from splitting if there was a side load. I'd sure use them again and probably will on my 35% Carden Edge when I get it (kit anyway) next month. Good luck.
