Default RE: Nitroplanes Tiger Moth 120 - Build

Help!!! After closely studying both WildeOne's build article and the (new) Nitroplanes build notes, I am ready to start building, BUT... I have 2 "unidentified" thin metal control rods of some sort, about 12" long with a light, maybe 45* degree bend in one end on each. Can anyone tell me what these 2 little rods are for? Thanks!

Thanks for the information, you won't by chance have the part number for the dubro tail wheel assembly, I have used them on another plane but don't remember the part number and wasn't having any luck finding it on the Tower Hobbies web page.

I am currently in the middle of my assembly and have found the hardware is deffently not up to standard, I have to replace the elevator push rods as the ones supplied are not long enough.[:-]
I will look at the veddos at home as my work computer won't letme look at videos about half the time [:@]

PorathL inadvertently just gave me my answer! Those 2 rods are Elevator Push Rods!

Default Tiger moth 120 via nitro planes

I plan on keeping all but the aileron servos together in the cockpit area, to minimize the need for balance weight..

This is probably a long shot. I recently acquired a tiger moth 120 from nitro planes. I'm having difficulties figuring out how to mount the gabanes on the fuselage since there's no support behind the covering. Any help would be appreciated
