Default Push rod wire

I need to get some .063 push rod wire, it has to be at least 40" long. Can some point me in a direction that I can order it

Thanks Bob

You can get 1,600 feet of 0.063" music wire for $10.03

Bob, is there any reason why you can't mount the servos in the tail rather then run a pushrod?

Hi!
Why use a 40 inch long steel wire?? Its too flexible och heavy!
Either use a balsa rod with steel end peices or carbon or alumium tubing (arrowshaft) or best; a pull-pull wire system!

Hi bob62
I guess you know that the normal push rod used with threaded clevises is larger in diameter.

Thank you sir, we had looked at this web site and it stated it was out of stock. We called and they stated it was in stock and we ordered a roll.

This is a arf, there is no place to mount one unless you destroy plane to do so

Yes sir we are aware, this plane is set up for duel controls of elevator, the thing only came with one pushrod. The wire that was sent with arf is .063, 2-56 will not fit tubes. So we are trying to find some .063 wire, which we have, we ordered a roll of 95'. We will have plenty
