Jeff, a trick you might want to try next time the control rods get sloppy, is
to cut plugs of EPP foam with a hole-saw or pieces of brass tubing. Make
several sizes to fit inside to the fuselage in 2 to 4 places. Take a dowel
rod and starting with the smallest plug, push the plug down the fuse from the
nose. Use progressively larger pieces towards the nose. EPP has several
advantages over other methods, light weight, the foam stays resilient, and in
most cases it can be removed simply by pushing it out from the other end.
Hope this helps, Rich
