RE: Favorite Pushrods?
I don't have a favorite pushrod. I use whatever I think is most appropriate. Wood pushrods are very good if properly constructed. In fact, a lot of people have said not to use wood because it changes dimensions with the climate. I've said the same thing even though I can't prove it and am not a good enough pilot to tell if it did happen.
What I suspect is that a wood model should have wood pushrods because a wood model will probably expand or contract much closer to what the pushrod does than say a wood model with a carbon fiber pushrod.
All that being said, I'm moving more and more toward using pull-pull because it's more positive and much lighter. I have been using the new fishing lines because it's easy to find and more than strong enough. I'm talking braided lines, not braided cable. Stuff like Power Pro works well.
