Senior Returning to the Hobby Requires Information

Hi Everyone,
My name is Mike and I am now 76+ years old.
We had to move a few year ago and after working through our bucket list of important priorities to make our new residence a comfortable home for us aging seniors, I now have some time available so I want to be active in the RC hobby again flying (crashing, then rebuilding) my planes to be able to fly both indoors in the winter and outside for the rest of the year.
To be able to do this I need a couple of planes (sadly most of my previous planes got abused past being reusable during the moving renovations).
I have started a new FT Mini Tiny Tutor new build which is going well.

Anyway, to the point,......
Josh uses small Servo Linkage Stopper Connectors on a lot of his builds to be able to easily establish neutral throws.
I hope that someone can provide me a link to where I can purchase these Linkage Stoppers so that I can use them for my current Tutor and future builds.
I prefer only having to do Z bends on pushrods at only one end and then using the Linkage Stoppers at the opposite end.
At my shaky age, I believe that this is the best way to set up the throws.

Can anyone in the FT Forum community offer pictures of these Linkage Stoppers and links as to where they can be easily purchased?

Thanks in advance for this information.

Mike

Welcome to the forum and back to the fly/crash/repair/repeat cycle! The linkage stoppers Josh uses might be these:

I like these and use them on mini and full sized planes:

Welcome to the forum! Make sure you post up pictures of your builds and where you fly. We like to see what kind of good things everyone is up to.


Cheers!

Thanks for these links.
I am just starting to build again so I will source out these linkage stoppers to add to my parts.
I prefer these to doing double Z bends at both ends because they are less able to be adjusted if needed.

Mike
