Default RE: Pushrod question


ORIGINAL: shd3920

The pushrod tubes for the tailfeathers are tighter than I remember them being in my LT-40, and I can not fit in a traditional set of nylon pushrods and I am wondering if the cable pushrods can be used safely for the control surfaces of a plane this size as that is all that will fit in the tubes? Please tell me yes as it would make the completion of this plane alot simpler, rather than cutting open the fuselage covering, ripping out the pushrod tubes and reinstalling new ones.
You can allways try chucking up the inner pushrod in a drill and use a something like a Scotchbright pad to loosen it up.
