turnbuckles for servo to swash AND low fbl head pitch links

[vertualex]

I have no doubt you will get it spot on.

Well, I bought Xtreme productions 500 size turn-buckles, but I can't recommend them.
it's next to impossible to get MSH links on them <- not true.

EDIT: I am an idiot
These have reversed threads. So one of the goes in clockwise, the other one counter-clockwise. Just a note to tunrbuckles newbies
Of course I did not read included instructions

[vertualex]

Yep, one thread is right hand the other one is left so you need to turn in opposite directions.

I remember turnbuckles for links way back when I started cars and trucks. I couldnt understand why all links weren't turnbuckles to start with.

Now, I'm asking myself the same thing. I'd think they'd be a godsend for tuning.

Having a car history myself I thought the exact same thing. I was like: "Uh what, this comes with rods that have 2x right hand thread?" Awful for fine tuning.

Don't mean to necro an old thread, but I found these in the parts bin, I must have ordered it last year and forgot about it... anyways, I'm glad I found them.

The thing I really like about the turnbuckles is not that there is finer adjustment but rather the fact that it saves popping the linkages on and off again to adjust.

I don't know now how well they fare in a crash, but I suspect I'll find out someday. Hopefully not too soon!

I will be using turnbuckles on both servo/swash and swash/grips. I found some in my tool box. Looks like they will all work just fine. I wish I would have saved the package so I knew what brand they are

[CrashAddict]

These are the ones I used. They are 40mm and need to be dremelled to size.

Search that on Fleabay and they come up. M2 thread's Made of titanium. Long threads so trimming them is not an issue.

I paint them with Liquid paper so I can see when they drift.

I cannot myself remember where I ordered mine from. : (

I hope with the T Rex's being all DFC today I might still find a place. If I do will post a link. They are so convenient I hope to find some for my protos as well.

Bit of googling - still can find them...
