Default RE: Advice on engine choice

ORIGINAL: Desertrat

I am. I used the 1/8 rods, titanium ends on mine because I had some left over from a 35% project. If I had it to do over, I would use the Hangar 9 Titanium rods - about the same price or even cheaper, way easier to set up, likely stronger, and just as light.
For a 35%, 1/8" is mighty small, perhaps 5/32" or 3/16" ?

Can the titanium rods be joined to obtain "in-between" lengths ? Just concerned that it will be more difficult to get the exact lengths as they are supplied in fixed lengths. Also, I notice that there is a hex in the middle of the rod. What is that for ?

One concern with CF rods I have is that in the event I want to re-use the titanium ends, it will be kinda tough to remove JB weld ?
