Well where there is a will their there is a way. Standard 4-40 threaded rods, cut to length, build up the end that has to be threaded with silver or any solder and thread, Hey if tinned right it will hold
A lot depends on the type of plane. Anthony could use cooked pasta on his cub and get away with it. I have bent 4-40 all thread with 60 size stunt planes. There is a lot of material removed from all thread and it tends to bend very easily. Having ends hold is never a big problem.
