yeah, i hate the current rostock arm design, i've sanded 3hours for what i thought was good, only to find out i had to sand another 3hrs for better fit, then i ended up sanding them too much, introduced side play. tried to use washers to take that out, ended up adding more friction..lol...


i'm switching to this type of design for an easier installation and probably better fit. but some of those ball ends have some play in it also, so I hope they got some that don't have that.

After having some aileron rod ends replaced more than once on a Cessna 172 due to excessive play, I don't plan on using ball ends on my Rostock Max.
