Default RE: CA Models ONAS

Hooked up the elevators, Mounted the servos into the fuse. I'm using the Airtronics 94761Z's for this.
I really like the CA/Chip control horns with the ball bearing clevis.
I use .125" Carbon Fiber tubing for the pushrods. I start of by drilling the CA clevis inside to 1/8". The CF tubing is then a snug fit and I used thin CA per Tony to glue the rods in. This is a nice secure tight fit that I'm confident will work. I made sure I did what Todd mentioned and put the screw side on the outer most ball bearing side and attached it the the horn.
On the servo side I first cut some 1/8 inside dia aluminun tubing to about 1 1/4"'s. I measure the proper length on the CF and cut it. Then slip the aluminum over the CF and CA it in with thin. Next I put a 2/56 sullivan rod/stud half way into a hand drill. I then apply some thin CA to the threads and drill it into the hole on the tubing. The Aluminum outside stops the CF from splitting open. This make an extremly light pushrod and I've been using this for elevators and ailerons for a very long time with out any failures.
