Glyn44 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi everyone, I am a very newcomer to rc flying, but progressing slowly. I have had a couple of problems with the supplied clevis's on my eflite apprentice. One showing stress marks, and one the locating peg was broken off, ( seen before flight!!, must have been beginners luck!) I would like to fit better quality replacements soonest. I have looked at the vast array on offer, but as a newbie I am unsure which will fit, as no details seem to be given on threads, & sizes etc. So your expert advice would be very welcome. Thank you. Hoping for calm dry days, Kind regards, Glyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hello Glyn I always use metal clevices, threads seem to be a mixture between kits, if your threaded rod is different you can fit solder adaptors to match your thread on clevice John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I agree that good metal ones are prob best - but I do find the better versions of plastic ones OK on most medium to small models - and at least these can be fitted to most threaded pushrods, as they cut their own thread to suit. As pointed out, ensuring the thread matches on the rod and the clevis is crucial - 2mm is common, but by no means universal! As another possible alternative these are quite good too . THIS store does a huge range of things pushyroddy and clevissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
