I have a .46 size Decathlon project going too. (yes, please add me to the taildragger club ) I am powering it with an older Saito 65 but my question is to do with ball links. I always use a Z bend at the servo and a clevis on the flight surface. After working with Heli ball links, a thought occurred to me, I could just use a Heli ball link and steel ball. That seems like that would be a better linkage set up for a few reasons.. so I am trying to match up what Align ball links would thread onto a 2-56 rod. I am thinking I could use the 450 links even though I might have to tap them. Any thoughts as to what links would work on 2-56 rods? I know the Align links are metric but I can never figure out the exact sizing for the conversion. I use Heli Direct but the specs and descriptions leave a lot to be desired. Are there any heli's that use standard measurements, maybe Blade?
