Carbon Push Rod Size

[john tarpinian]

Jim 

Thanks for the advice. I'm planning to use the 1/8" cg
tube and 2-56 hardware.

The 2-56 size works good,however I use the pushrod
ends from Bob Violet Models part number BVM5734.These
are stainless steel and are way stronger than
Dubro.You need to drill them to fit a little oversize
for the carbon fiber rod.This gives room for the
epoxy.

This info is compliments of Troy Newman. Didn't think
I would take credit for it did you Troy?HAHA.
