Kerwin - you might try www.centralhobbies.com up in Billings MT. They have a lot of carbon fiber push rod material in different length's and dia's. Great RC store and luckily for me only about 1.5 hours north of me.
Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile guys, but we transferred with the company this winter (Dec and we are still looking for a house to buy!!!). Thankfully my brother lived here but he is on temp assignment down in OK so his house just happened to need a baby sitter 
This has been the winter from H@LL. We never thought it would quit snowing, oh wait, it hasn't, we are under a winter storm warning in the mountains above us right now !! When the weather has given us a break it's been during those lovely mid week, busy at work, can't get away kind of times 
My brother did come home for two weeks of R&R and so he and I were able to find a day that looked promising and I took it off. We had a great day of flying !! He had his trusty Advance 40, and for the 2nd time this year I was able to get out and wring the T___T40 and 60 both out YYYEEEEAAAAAAA!
Waldo, I love the TripeT____T! I had my knee's knocking just watching the vid. It's about as tall as it is long. Have you had anymore luck dialing it in??
Buckskin, sorry about the hard rolling landing, buy it looks like the grass should have helped save quite a bit of it. In true T___T fashion just take a mister filled full of CA, give a squirt and quick shake and she'll be as good as new. I've watched the video a BUNCH, and it looks like the rudder may have started it, but it sure looks like aileron after that I'm afraid. I have an OS91 on my 60, and I can't say I've ever had a lot of trouble keeping the torque out of it, sorry I can't help you much either.
Later guys and keep loving those T___T's

Rule one: No matter what else happens, fly the airplane.
Rule two: Fly it until the last piece stops moving.
You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi.

RE: ... - 
That Edge and I just never saw eye to eye. Can't blame the plane entirely. Shes under powered and very tailheavy. I've just been too stubborn to add weight! I could be a bit over-propped as well. The plane weighs in at 13.5 dry and has a 78" wingspan. I like to look on the bright side of things, I can fix the CG and the power problems both with a little gasser on the nose, and that leaves me with the 180 for a 150 T___T. Anyway, give 'em hell tomorrow!!
