Bruce,
Can carbon fiber be bent to make Z or L-bends? The only CF setup I can find is from Central hobbies, and their setup is very complicated and uses ball joints and clevises. I've heard from many people that Z and L bends are the most reliable setup.

Thanks,
Johnny
I've taken .060" ID CF tube and slid it over 2-56 metal pushrods. They're lighter than larger metal rods but very stiff and you still have the metal for Z-bends, etc.
