Default Cntrl rods, stiffeners etc

Has anyone ever used these for pushrods or any other wire part on a spad.
They are simple insulation supports bought at any lumber yard for about $5.90 per box of 100 for 16" and $8.50 per box of 100 for 24".
They're not perfectly straight when ya pull them out but a lttle tweakin and they work just fine.
Diameter is about .080
I spose many will call them kinda thick but they are tougher than he!!

I bought the 25 inchers , they are about 3/32 in. I use them for controlrods and tailwheels. They work nicely! thudriver
