Default RE: Pushrod testing

That's very good information, thanks for posting it. I am about to use CF pushrods for aileron interconnects on my Dave Patrick Ultimate, so this test came at a perfect time for me. From what I've read, JB Weld is the adhesive of choice for this application; I wonder how it would compare to the Polyurethane.

Something to consider. The epoxy is likely only in the area between the the wire and the tube whereas the ProBond may have expanded into the area behind the wire creating a hard plug that you were essentially trying to push the wire through. Would a pull test take as much force?
