MK ball bearing connectors

[Troy Newman]

Get a 2mm socket head screw and some 2mm hex nuts. Then you have a 1/2 turn resolution. I recommend the nuts regardless. I've had several models up over 1500 flights using these clevis devices and never had one go sloppy or fail. The cost a bit more...but event he Rocket city stuff was going sloppy on me and need replacing. By the time I bought 2 sets of RC stuff I paid for the MK stuff.....This is the best endorsement I can make on this hardware. I have yet to see something wear out.

  Hi All,

  I'm using some MK ball bearing connectors on my plane now and have a few questions for those that use them.  When installed on the elevator, I only have the resolution of 1 full turn because the direction the small Philips head screw must pass through.  Are there any tricks to working around this?  The aileron install seems fine as you can access the screw head from any direction. 



  For those that use these devises, are there any improvements, maintenance, or things to be aware of?  Has the screw ever backed out?

  Thanks,

  Jim W.
