I must agree with other opinions expressed in this thread. First choice for
one end of the push rod is Z-bends (neat, strong, easy, etc.). On the other
end I use a threaded rod and quick link with lock nut. An alternative is to
use threaded couplers SILVER SOLDERED to a rod with quick link. Bob Viollett
has some nifty steel solder couplers for an outrageous price. Or you can use
DuBro brass solder couplers. Roughen up the music wire where you plan to
solder (I file small grooves in the wire), and clean the wire with acetone or
flux.
     I would recommend against using EZ connectors despite the large number
of modelers getting away with it. Ask yourself this question; Would you
want to fly in a real airplane where the connections depended on one set screw
and a plastic washer to keep the control surfaces functioning?
