Default Composite ARF M3 Clevis

Does anyone have a M3 steel clevis they could drop in an envelope and send to me? My EVO is missing one and I’ve had no luck getting one from Comparf. Thanks

It’s the MPX or Graupner one. They used to pack a spare in all kits.

There’s no spares in mine. And I’m not impressed with this EVO arf:
there’s no manual for the jet, no manual for retracts/brakes, there’s no proportional braking...they are off or full locked on.

Just use the large dubro plastic clevis with the brass keeper.
3mm is a hair larger than 4-40 and those come un threaded. I’ve used them on my flash and comp arf hawk for years.

What Dieselman said. It's what I plan to do with my EVO. As for manual. At this level of aircraft, and considering what's left for the end user to 'assemble', they assume that you already know pretty much how to do what needs to be done. But the original UF manual does help a little:

As for the gear/brake controller, totally agree. What more do you expect from a $20 controller though. I highly recommend the xicoy(all touch screen, gyro assisted steering, gyro braking, and pulse/anti-lock braking). And the JP gear operate off of current limiting for extension/retraction, so that's how you'll have to set up the xicoy. Not sure what the EVO gear current limit is, but my Rebel HOT was around .6 amps peak-to-peak. I'm sure you could start there.

Default 3m clevis

I have one if you haven't already found one.
The late Andy Kane actually sent me a couple as I could not find them either.
Sullivan now also makes their golden clevis in 3mm also-I called them to verify. Not many hobby shops have them yet, as they are brand new.
Text me at 843,833.0059 and I will get your address.

Thanks for the info about the gear/brakes. I love the retracts, not so much the brakes. Thanks Mike...I’ll text you later today with my address. I may keep her after all!
