Is there a commercially available heavy duty torque rod available for giant scale applications? I do either a two piece, one for each elevator half, or a single unit that connect both haves to a common pushrod. I want to mount the servo(s) up front on my Bamboo Bomber but need some torque rods to keep the linkages internal. I can make them, but I am not sure if I trust a home brazing job on the elevator.

Yellow aircraft sells one for their kits and I've purchased extra's from them.

try sierra precision, he makes the arms and i think he will build a rod to your spec. www.sierragiant.com

B&B sells a servos doubler. That ties 2 servos into ine pushrod..If you loose one servo then you endup with a little over 1/2 the original throw... Ive used it before with good results... There is no binding in this setup..

Thanks guys...
I found the Sierra Precision one not long after I posted this. Sometimes getting things from him can be a bit challenging. I also found that Prather makes one for boat rudders, I am looking into that as well.

I was wondering if Yellow had something since I just read where a guy a Yellow Spitfire and only used one servo.....therefore he had to have some soft of torque rod set up. I amy give them a call to see what they have.

The B&B thing is kinda backward from what I am looking for. That ties two servos to one pushrod, I am looking for something on the elevator end of things.
