I am looking for a place that sells #2 rod (2-56) in bulk quantity's Also looking for the plastic guide tube (outer sheath) also in large quantity's. I know places like Tower and Horizon sell the #2 in bulk but not the plastic. Any one see this kind of stuff at there hardware store or other places?????

If you haven't dismissed the use of CF, it can be a better choice than the rod.
Composite Structures Technology has various size rods and sheaths.

Thanks for the link TP I'LL keep it in my favorites But CF is a bit over kill for my spads. Im looking for a sourse for about 200' of the plastic guide tube.

Juat run the pushrd inside a flute channel of the model. 4mm's flutes are just about right for 2-56 guide tubes. (strip off a square tube from a sheet of coro if you need to run a tube at an angle... CA it to the side of the fuselage inside... done.)

Great idea FHH I'll give that a try.

Barkin_bob, I have a call in to my LHS to see where they get them from. I will get back to you!

PS
Just heard back from the LHS They are from Dubro and come in a 24 count tube and cost $19.00.

Hobby Lobby also has 25 or 50 foot rolls of nylon tubing, one fits inside the other. I use this for guide lines on most of my pull-pull setups. It comes in rolls and you do need to stretch it out and heat it to get the kink out of it. I just slip it over some piano wire and heat it with the heat gun, it then remains straight.
