For both the M2 threads and M3 threads, you have 4mm from the shoulder to end of the thread. I havnt tried putting them on an arm yet, but I will drill and tap the arm to accept whatever ball link I use. Not sure if Ill use a nut or not, it will depend on the application and if i have the room.

Here are some shots of my wing servo hardware.
I have them in my Kinetic 2MDP, as well as in my Pace VXE.
So far they have proven to be the most slop-free linkages I have put on a plane.

I have a set of Winchdoc's beautiful frames for my K2m but I can't clamp down the pinch-bolt tight enough on my MKS servos. Is there a trick to this? I ended up not using them.

PM me your address I'll send you a new set

That is awesome. PM sent. Thanks!

Hey winchdoc, do you have a site with your products? Or are you via pm?

RCG is the site.
Mostly I build to subscription order, when they are gone, they're gone. (except for a few items)
Check my blog for pix of past projects.

Drool!

Man have been trying to get some 4-40 hardware and is usually about a tenner for a dozen clevis, but everywhere I want to order from is triple that in shipping! Anyone got a good shop?

Thanks Kevin and Stu, these ball links are great. The one I got from Kevin fit nicely in the D60 tail I put together last week. I'm going to use these from now on.

I want to buy a bulk lot of hardware for future builds but am not sure where from or exactly what is available these days.

Can anyone offer advice on an affordable bulk buying option?

Hi Alex,

https://www.f3x.de/

It's a new shop from Artur Blömker who did the dynamic-soaring.de side earlier years. I saw only good quality stuff there, so I have a good feeling with this shop.

Greetings Bjoern

Thanks for the link Bjoern!

Alex, I have a wholesale account with DuBro and Sullivan and can order bulk for you to pick up next DS fest.
