[NSRCA-discussion] Titanium vs steel...

[Verne Koester]

A 12" piece is going to be a lot more flexible than the 3/4" or so
protruding from each side of the rudder and/or elevator. Cut a piece the
length you'll actually need and try flexing that. You won't be able to. Glue
it in and go fly.

So I bit the bullet and bought some titanium threaded rod (6/32) and a  
12" piece weighs 9g. But as I'm holding and flexing it I noticed it  
seems kinda flexible. Did I just buy some nice light rods that I  
shouldn't be using as rud/elv horns? It's all pull pull.

Thanks,
Jason
