Pull-pull for a U-CAN-DO 60
Hi everybody,
I bought a UCD 60 and I am thinking of replacing all the linkages. I want a pull-pull system for the rudder and ball-linked 4-40 pushrods for all other control surfaces. I would also like to change the control horns on all surfaces. I live in Greece, so I need your help identifying all the components that I'm going to need, because I want to order enerything from Tower and each order takes about 2 weeks to get here, so it is really important for me to have everything included in one order.
I have already checked Tower's web site and found the following:
Pull-pull:

Pushrods:

Ball-links:

Control Horns:

Which should I choose? Is that all that I'm going to need? Any better suggestions?
I know this will be hard to answer, but I hope you'll take the time, because it is really importand to me to get everything right.
Thank you in advance

Take a look at this site under the "PTA accessories" button. He sells all kinds of linkage and pull-pull kits and they are really nice. I use his stuff and have had no problems! I reckon his horns are amongst the best around !
Give Pete a call and tell him what you want to do. He is a nice guy and will help you.

I used the Dubro 4-40 pull-pull, Dubro Super Strength T Style control horns, Dubro 4-40 pushrod and kwik links and Dubro long futaba servo arms on mine.

Hello!
Just use the thinnest possible plastic coated steel fishing wire ...I have used this type of wire for many years! Much better than any other steering metod.
