ORIGINAL: yeahbaby

Jeff

on my previous hornet i used the DB carbon push rods with 4-40 end caps and threaded rods. to minimize the flex, I inserted an appropriately sized wooden dowel that ran the length between the end caps.

flex is non-existent under tension (up elevator) and nearly as good under compression ( down elevator)

you guys crack me up.

chillax bro's life is good. my primary concern when flying was loading up the airplane in a dive or turn.
thats what i'm probly going to go with. this is definately a big project and I for one, just want to eliminate as many of the weak spots as possible. I got one of my Ram 1000's for it yesterday, but still need another..
