Cub .25 pushrods
 

I've got this .25 Modeltech cub ARF that calls for some sort of epoxied wooden dowel type of pushrod setup. What I'd like to do is go with some semi flexible sleeved type pushrods instead. The distance from servos to surfaces is maybe 15 inches, hardly enough distance to allow any flex.

It is an ARF and is already covered. I guess with enough fidelity, I could drop a two holed crossmember into the fuse and run the pushrods through there for extra bracing.

Does this sound alright?

That should work just don't run them straight to the exit. If the elevator exit is on the left start with the servo on the right so you will have a bow in the pushrods. This will help eliminate even more slop. Put the rudder in on the opposite side and the 2 will cross somewhere in the back.

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't thought of that.

I'll give it a shot when they arrive and see how it works.
