Split elevator linkage
 

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2020340Does anyone know where I can find this piece of hardware? The picture is from a "Black Horse" ARF. I was told it may be a piece from Graupner, but I cant confirm. Seems like something that would come in handy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a regular old wheel collar in place of that union... Sullivan makes this little connector that's very similar:

of course you could simply use a fiberglass rod or hardwood dowel type pushrod and add two pushrods and clevis' to it.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I have about three kit-built planes under my belt, and have used some or all of your suggestions at one time or another. It just seemed to me that this was a great idea, especially if using split elevators. It would make adjustment much easier. If you know where I can find that I pictured, I'd love to hear back. Thanks- Andy

Hey Andy ;)
The World Models carries a nylon version... (it comes with their 40-60 sized arf's)
(Below is a link to their online store, it does not use the domain theworldmodels.com just FYI.)

I'd check out Central Hobbies as they used to carry a lot of linkage hardware..
