For those of you that have stuffed an Align 550X inside of the .50 / 600 size FunKey Jet Ranger, are you using the carbon fiber tail control rod or a wire style control rod?

I used a wire rod. The only one I could find was for a 600 and was to long. So I cut and rethreaded it. My threads weren’t deep enough. This got me threw a few flights on just the mechanics, but the first flight after installing the mechanics into the ranger ended with a spin of death after a 5 minute flight. The rod pulled right out of the ball link.
the fuse didn’t make it. The mechanics got a 600 make over and are now installed in my 600 G-Jive waiting on a few finishing parts. Now I can use the 600 torque tube and control rod without having to cut and thread.
