Building a Goldberg kit, arrived at the usual 3/8 sq hard balsa pushrods. Threaded wire links attached to the wood with carpet thread and glue. Ugh.

Pros: Cheap, easier to install than Goldenrods (no interior anchor points required), fairly stiff, pretty light really.

Cons: Servo thrust delivered off-center of the square section which bothers me, lots of wire bends which bother me, ultra low tech, and butt ugly.

I like to feel good about what I build, and these look like they're left over from the rubber-driven escapement era. (There's one you young studds can puzzle over....)

What are your favorite pushrod solutions?

(Solutions must include a way to connect to the servos and horns. Not enough to just say 'carbon fiber tubes rock'.)
