can anyone give me some tips as to how to get a pushrod down to the elevator. its a 1/5 scale cub and the tube has come free at the tail end and ive spent the better part of a day trying all sorts of crap ive given up as im about to swing this thing around like a golf club and smash it to pieces. seriously frustrated need some help

Get a piece if thin wire or stiff string (Like Dental floss)

Loop it and put it through the pushrod exit hole. Try to snag the tube and bring it to the surface, then Slide the pushrod into the tube and out the rear

can you slide a fishing wire from the end and push it all the way to the radio comparment?
you can hold it in the air nose down till it will come out.
if you will give enough wire some part of it will emerge at the end...
maybe even to tie some weight on the wire so it will get down.

If those ideas don't work, to save your sanity ( I'm always trying to do that) just send the plane to me !!!!

I like to use a plastic tube, like a pushrod guide tube or a section of a flexible gold-n-rod, and fish that through the opening at the tail end of the plane, push it through to the radio compartment, then slip the pushrod into the guide tube, and simply pull the assembly bach through the opening.

was able to get it finally what happened was the guide tube broke free from the former closest to the tail and somehow faced down into the bottom of the fuse with a edge of the former kinda of twisted and putting some force on it. So accesing the tube from the rear was nearly impossible i tried all sorts methods of snagging the tube. Going through the front back ended up working. Used a smaller guide tube with the pushrod glued about 2 inches in, i did try this somewhere around 100 times but with no luck, kept breaking away as it entered the tube guess sometimes just need to take a breather still was alot of messing around but its in. Thanx for the replies. Need to get some patience now, anyone know where to buy that lol.

Patience,_---- Some say it comes with age. If it does, sometimes it just dissapears. Well, I've learned not to throw things & jump up & down & hold my breath!!! Is that patience?
