Ya, that makes things real simple. Those rods are the rods used by most of the pylon folks and the inside ID is a perfect slip fit for the 2-56 sized rod ends. I use these rods in the vast majority of my airplanes.

Its so easy just insert a a piece of rod with the threads on one end and epoxie or insert a bare rod like that elevator yoke with the collors as well as a rod end with the S bend already bent. adjust it to length and epoxie.

I picked that airplane up cheap and the horrible solid full length steel rods was a complete mess. It had actually had been flown a few times with the rudder rod force to the outside of a bulkhead about half way back pinched between the bulkhead and the fiberglas of the fuselage.

The elevator rods had so many deliberate bends in it that you almost flatten the elevator just by blowning on it with your mouth. All of my airplanes have straight fuselage pushrods and never any fuselage exit bends. I just let the rods out of the fuselage wherever that needs to be so they are never bent and thats not neccessairly where the outlets may be on some arfs and well as indicated on the plans of some kits.
