Default DA 50 throttle linkage

Hi guys,

I'm getting prepared to assemble my first gasser, I already have the engine (DA-50) and all the electronics needed (servos, batteries, rx, etc). Now I'm in the process of purchasing the hardware (pushrods, ball links, fuel tubing, fuel tank, etc) and I'm wondering how the throttle linkage is done for a DA.

I did notice on the throttle arm that it seems to be already threaded for a 4-40 ball link, however got another idea. I've always used a nylon clevis and nylon flexible tubing on my glow throttle arms, and was thinking of going the same way for the DA, as it is stiff enough to work the throttle efficiently but flexible enough to absorb the vibrations and not transmit them to the servo gears. But, I'm not sure if such a setup on the DA carb would be "safe". It's 2-56 nylon clevises and 1/8" OD antenna tubing. Attached is a photo of how I did on a glow profile.

If some of you could post photos of your DA-50 throttle and choke (if linked to a servo, as I also plan to do that) linkages it would be very nice!! Even if they're different from what I plan on doing. I'm loooking for just that, knowing how people is doing the linkages.
