New project finding an alluminum rod that will fit that dam little hole on the elevator of the Dave Patricks Edge 540 120. Funny thing is i found a screw driver that fits the hole perfect, but its not long enough or id cut it and use it. But it was good for taking a measurement with the micrometer.

SO Im wondering if anyone knows were i can find some alluminum rods on the internet. I looked at tower hobbies and there eighter to big or to small. I can see this is going to be a project just looking for an aluminum rod.

Need an aluminum rod that is .1575" in diameter that is the size of the screwdriver shaft that fits the hole tight witch would be perfect if i could find a rod that size but i dought that is going to happen.. closest to this size would be 5/32" = .15625" figure if i can find an aluminum rod that is 5/32" and about 12 inches long i will be in bussiness.
So if anyone knows of a place that sells this size of alluminum rod Send me the link figured its worth a shot here why not.

Its a shame that the manufacture of this model doesnt exist anymore. So strange but understandable i guess some companies just dont make it. Hope to get this one flying and have some fun with it. But i can see if it ever crashes that will be it.

Oh and yes the plane looks like it is together but its not used packing tape and just made it look good for the pictures still needs a ton of Hardware nuts and bolts ect. gonna be awhile before this one lifts off into the sky again. so i figured i would start with finding the hard stuff first.
