Default RE: Flexible pushrods?

Minnflyer,

You don't think the metal rods will pull out of the plastic rod? Even threaded in 1/2" or so, I don't have alot of confidence in the plastic holding the threads at the bottom of a high speed dive. What about temperature changes affecting the rod length, I image the plastic they use for these things is pretty stable? I'm probably just being paranoid, but I'm used to using short metal or carbon rods where the servo is a few inches from the surfaces. Even the 40 size stuff I had a while back used 2-56 metal rods in a plastic sleeve.

Thanks,
Ben
