Hi all, I'm going to be e-powering a 25% Sukhoi 25% Sukhoi (http://www.peakmodel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_99_96&products_id=542) and wanted some recommendations on control rods, horns and linkage options that would ensure a solid lightweight connection. The plane has some threaded hardware that just looks a little clumsy and is definitely heavy. Specifially, I'm looking for control horns/rods for the pull-pull rudder and horns rods for the other surfaces.

If you have something that you've used and think would be a good fit, please jump in and share.

Thanks

Ron

Thanks appleflyer, I'll check it out.

The one thing that has confused me as I've looked at the bag of parts is it looks like the pull pull set up for the rudder utilizes a straight threaded rod that goes through the rudder and two nuts bold it in place, a linkage horn then is threaded on the rod for the clevis to attach. It's easy enough to do, but the horn isn't over the hinge line as is the case with all my other models.
