Default Pushrod and Remote fueling question...

I read on a previous post about the GP 182 ARF 40 that some people used Dave Brown composite pushrods. A look on Towers site revealed Dave Brown fiberglass pushrods http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXB901&P=0 , not sure if this was the same thing. I'm also wondering how you connect these to the servo, as I'd imagine you cannot bend the fiberglass into an L.

Also, is there a way of hooking up a fuel port so as not to need to remove the cowling to refuel? I thought I read something about this, perhaps someone can provide a link to it so I can see it?

Thanks in advance!

I think Dave Brown only has one line of pushrods. They're fiberglass and they work very well. I'm using

As far as fueling cowled engines, I used to use the Great Planes fuel filler, but now exclusively use fuel dots. Try a search for them and you'll find a lot of info. I get them at my LHS, but you can see more at www.pspmfg.com.

flydenfeld, here's what I use for cowled engines, very simple, and it works great:

I use the 3 line system in the fuel tank can't go wrong. I've had many fuelers start to suck air and make problems
