Today while flying my push rod separated from the piece of shrink rap holding the two pieces of rod together. They were glued with CA on both ends of the rap and I had a good 20 flights on this plane, but today it failed 100+ feet up. All that is left is the electronics.[:@] I am going to build up another plane, but my question is, does this happen often. What are the other options for control surface rods and horns? Can I solder the rods together? The model was a mountain models smooth-E. Thanks for any suggestions.
