Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

I do like that style of Robart horns. You do need to be careful of the clevis since the joint doesn't inner lock like the joints on DuBro and Sullivan clevises. The joint is shown below, just butts together rather than inner lock, I'm sure for this application they will be fine just don't tighten the jam nut too tight.
For larger scale installations I take a KS 3/16" x .049" aluminum tube, tap it for 4-40, counter bore the clevis end to snug fit to accept the clevis, and assemble with 4-40 set screw and Loctite, all adjustments are made on the servo end. Makes for a nice looking control rod on scale planes.

Thanks Tony!!
I've looked at that and decided to wrap that joint tightly with copper wire and solder it. I also thought about drilling a section of tube to slide over the threaded end and loctite it in place. Hopefully it won't expand on me if I do that. Nice job on the large scale rods by the way!

I think a small piece of brass tube will do the job.

Working on the servo leads made the connections now all that need to be is to feed the two leads down the small cavity. Glad I bought the lead wire from Germany it’s great wire it has special covering that is very tuff and difficult to strip and a lot lighter and than standard wire.

Got the rudder and elevator servos installed now all I have to do is run the wires up to the wing and make all the connections to the rudder and elevator.

I already checked through my K&S supply and can't find one that fits snug. I'll have to order one if I use the collar method.

Looks good snoop. I would also solder them together for durability and connectivity!

I was thinking of doing that but it will make almost I possibly to do maintenance on the servos if I ever need to, hoping that the heat shrink tubing hold it together and sealed.

The elevator and rudder horns and servos are installed, and the wiring threaded through the fuselage up to the left wing.

I hear ya! Pop that tank in so I can see how you have it!
