MK ball bearing connectors

[David Harmon]

Yep...that's true..I hose the bearings out with WD-40 occasionally just
in case they want to rust or corrode although there has never been any
observed.
The aluminum horns corrode though...they need to be anodized.

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.
