Larry,
Yes, you can get RC hardware from donshobby. I did just that and it is not exactly the same. I purchased RC hardware (nelson on the package) and it has minor differences from Dons, for example....on the #87 ball links, the screw is different and you don't get a washer for it. I am sure its just as good, I am still using it. Also, if you go to TNT website, http://www.tntlandinggear.com/store/..._hardware.htm, you will see it there too. Of course I found this after I recieved my stuff from Dons. Again, I'm sure Don's stuff work just as well.
Hope this helps.

THe stuff I got looks identical to the Rocket City that I remember from days gone by.

The new hardware use ball joints and a screw through them, not the metal sleeve and bolt as before. There is a little play between the 4-40 bolt that passes through the ball in the joint. A little more slop that the old designs, but the ball joint decreases and binding that may happen with the servo arm rotation.

I just picked up the exact same product as rocket city. Horizon Hobby has renamed the part: DLR01B Swivel clevis. comes with two control horns 8-32 with 2 clevis and one rudder horn. So for giant scale 1 packet for each wing (dual servo) one packet for elevator and one for the rudder. Total of four packets. Retail is $7.79. The best product I have seen, I believe Rocket city is gone, or has a no-compete w/Horizon and is now distributing thru Horizon.
