Someone suggested that instead of using the Red Gold N Rods or the supplied black ones that come with a four star 60 kit, use dowel rods instead.

I think the object is to drill a hole through the center of a 1/4 in. or so rod, bend a 2-56 wire through it. Tie the wire down against the rod with thread and epoxy it.

Can anyone show me a picture of this? I'm having trouble seeing how to actual hook this up to the servo and control horn. Does the rod actually not secured in the fuselage? Is this any better than the Red Gold N rods? Seems like it will be heavier.

I used the Gold N rods in my first four star and although it worked, it was kind of hard to get it to look good at the rear.
