Default Help finding 8-32 control horn connectors

I just purchased a Giant scale Sukoi with threaded rods on the contol surfaces. I think they are 8-32 or the metric equivelant. I need to find connectors that screw on to these rods so I can hook up clevices for my servo connection.

Does anyone know where I can find such an animal?

How big is this plane??!! 8/32 is absolute giant for pushrod thread, I could be way off though. I mount engines with 8/32. I do know Dubro makes some real nice 4/40 solder on couplers that allow you to thread a clevis on your pushrod. I use these in MidwestExtra, and Goldberg Sukhoi, with no problem. You might take one of your rods to hobby shop, and size it up. Just seems big, unless it's a 33% or better plane. Good luck.

The 8-32 Thread is on the metal control horn not on the pushrod. for anyone interested, I did find some 8-32 Control horns with nylon fittings - Sullivan just came out with them. They were nice enough to send me the part I need at no charge.

Ah ha.....Got it now.....I don't know why I didn't realize this before. Sorry 'bout that. Glad you got your pieces. FYI...RocketCity makes fittings in 8/32 size also.

That's right, forgot about it. What is the hardware called now? Is it still RocketCity?
