Thanks again for all the tips. We assembles the push rods last night and I think they will be okay except for the rudder it binds real bad and won't quit go back to center after you let of the radio when you turn left. So I think well replace the rod. I think its the outer rod already mounted in the plane that has the problem, is it possible to remove the whole thing and install a new one, or can I do what Steve said and manufacture a smaller one out of metal that will fir in the existing tubing?
