I think any thing more than the v bends just adds too much weight.I went to smaller wire for the pushrods(.020)and used very thin wire for my RX antenna.I had to though, because I went to a 1/8 boom.( These mods were recomended by Zhack)They worked well but it still took alot of fiddling to get it right! > D

I have built a couple of bugs and now gambler. They all share the same control system which I am having major difficulties with. Does any one have good ways to setup one to prevent binding? I read on charles river site that using control cabble may prevent binding. Has any one had experience with this? Music wires are just too fiddly for me... Also how do you make the pushrod adjustable except the infamouse V-bend in the middle which is a pain to get right? In gambler kit the dubro control system is suppled but because the servos are arranged sideways it is really quite pointness. Any bright ideas? What about ball linkages? Thanks D
