Carbon rods?

[Troy Newman]

go to

Then go to the elevator control setup...This uses the 0.070" CF rods from CST....This is how I do it. Works very well. Not my idea but I have used it very effectively....

Derek posted the article on his website for me. Its got pictures and instructions on how to do it....It also talks about the other methods giving pros and cons..like the MK bellcrank and Pull-Pull

  Hello, I am in the process of building an airplane (Beat-On) and was thinking about using cf rods similar to the nyrod method.  CST sells them in 050.  I saw them used in a couple pattern planes a few years ago.  Is anybody still using them?  Are they strong enough for elevator and rudder?  Any good tips or tricks?

  Thanks,
