Multi Pushrod connector
 

Ok guys, I am looking for a multi-pushrod connector. I have two 440 rods connected to both halves of my elevator and I am using one HD servo. I have seen a multi rod connector which is one aluminum block with three holes. One for the servo and one each for the elevators. All have set screws. Does anyone know where I can pick one of these up?

It is a practical little widget. I also have been loking for it, not found it yet. Used two wheel collars instead.
I had one on a Space Walker ARF I got from Hobby King. I didnt look on their web site, might be available there.

A couple of Google searches returned no availability in USA.

You may want to build it yourself if you have a press drill and taps:

I would sleep better using a soldered joint instead. ;)

Hi fellows: I am a licensed aircraft mechanic, and believe there are not many people who would love to fly in a full size aircraft that had flight controls connected to set screw fittings. I had this two elevator wire problem to solve on my F-22 as the plans called for using two wheel coller set screw fittings to attach the left rod to the right elevator rod which was bolted/attached to the servo arm. I tried a dog bone set up which did not move both elevators together. My use of two threaded ball swivel fittings threaded onto new rods which had threads on one end, and then ran a cap headed long bolt through both fittings into the servo arm. Now both elevators are secured to the servo. The remaining rod ends had brass threaded fittings soldered to the rods after roughing up the rod areas to receive the solder. Having one elevator rod located above the other did not pose a problem as there was plenty of space in the fuse. The remaining problem is the crummy metal rods. The left elevator rod housing was installed at an angle which causes a problem in the movement. I may have to remove the system, and install the Nyrods as was done for the rudders. The elevator connections at the horns, are also pivoting swivels due to the rudder angle movement. Any questions, send me an e-mail: [email protected]

The soldered connection has been used forever without issue. Wrap copper wire around all the pieces flux and silver solder with a torch. K.I.S.S. I have also used wheel collars to do the same thing, no issues. Sullivan makes the connector you are looking for. http://www.sullivanproducts.com/Prod...xMainFrame.htm
