Default Push rods

What type push-rods are most of you using now-a-days? I always used the cable in a tube for elevators and rudder but was wondering if there is something better now. Seems to me the cable in a tube might be a little heavier than other methods.

Ralph,

I have always had good luck with the push rod systems like the Dave Brown ones. You can see it here: https://www.dbproducts.com/index2.htm There are others out there that have carbon fiber tubes instead of fiberglass tubes........ It is just a matter of preference.

Ralph,

I just tried the Dave Brown pushrods for my Tiger Tail. As for whatimpactiq said,I had good luck puttingthem togetherand they seem quite strong. Iused a forked elevator pushrod and one of the end plugs is already drilled for that. I believe it's going to work out well. The LHS had the package of two rods and the price was very fair.

I at least plan to be there for one day as I will be dirt track racing that weekend at 2 different tracks. It will be a busy weekend providing the weather stays good.
