Default Please help

I just finished up the airframe of my UCANDO 46. The box came damaged and i dunno what happened but Pushrods were not included with my plane. Because of this I'm going to go ahead with Carbon Fiber Pushrods. Does anyone have a link to these? I'll need 5. Thanks

You can make your own with
2-56 rod threaded at the tip, not allthreaded (2-56 is plent when its really short
2-56 clevis's
3/16 or 1/4" wooden dowel,
1/4" Carbon Fiber arrowshaft (or close) from the local archery shop
5 minute epoxy


1. Sand the dowel to where it will slide in snug but freely into the arrowshaft if its a little too big.
2. Cut off 2 pieces about 1" long, 1 for each end of the pushrod assembly.
3. drill the center of the piece of dowel to fit the pushrod with just enough slop for a good epoxy bond.
4. Cut the 2-56 so that it hangs out with maybe 1/8" of unthreaded 2-56 showing and just enough to bend over at a 90 and clip on the opposite end( the end that will be hidden in the pushrod at the opposite end of the dowel).
5. Trim the clipped end that you just bent so that the dowel assy will slide into the carbon fiber shaft without scarring the CF .
6.epoxy the 2-56 into the dowel, dont get it on the threads.
7.Figure out what you total length will be, allowing for adjustment of course so you will know how long to cut the CF.
8. Cut the carbon fiber to length.
9. Epoxy the 2 dowel ends into the carbon fiber, I add a slight crown of epoxy on the ends of the CF just for strength.
10. Install clevis
12. Attatch to servo and control surface.
