- I prefer to use adjustable clevises on both ends of a pushrod. I don't trust
- any connector with a set screw on anything but throttle. Also, try not to have
- any bends in a pushrod if at all possible. In many airplanes the kit shows
- the two pushrods parallel to each other with a dog leg bend at the aft end.
- Most of the time if you simply cross the rudder and elevator pushrods, you can
- keep them absolutely straight. Much stiffer. It's probably not terribly important
- on a trainer but on a high speed airplane a sloppy elevator can really get
- you in trouble.
