Central Hobbies Mini Carbon Fiber Pushrod

A new Carbon fiber "Mini" Pushrod is now available for smaller radio-controlled planes. Central Hobbies combines its famous carbon fiber pushrod technology with brass rod ends to create the very best pushrod for smaller aerobatic aircraft and for throttle control of 3-D and FAI-F3A Pattern planes.

See the Mini Pushrod here.

For years, Central Hobbies' fiberglass pushrods with titanium steel ends have been saving crucial weight in FAI-F3A Pattern (and 3D) planes while improving control of the flight. This is because carbon fiber has proven itself world-wide as a stronger, stiffer and lighter alternative to steel rods. It's also stronger and lighter than fiberglass and wood.
For example, a 12 inch section of the 5/32" Central Hobbies carbon fiber pushrod stock weighs 3 grams. Add a pair of titanium fittings and total weight is only 4.5 grams plus a small amount of adhesive. The typical "standard" 12 inch threaded 4-40 rod, however, weighs in at 10 grams, and that's without a clevis or pushrod fitting. If you add a solder-on threaded end (do you like to solder?) it jumps to 13+ grams - still without a clevis.

The same lightweight-yet-stronger technology is now offered in the Central Hobbies Mini Pushrod. With threaded brass fittings and a solid carbon fiber rod, the Mini Pushrod improves flight control (reducing wobble and flex) while also reducing weight.
The Mini Pushrod is offered as a complete set (pair of 12" x .02 rods with 4 threaded 0-80 fittings), as rods only (packs of 2) and as fittings only (4-pack). The ends 7 threading are designed to fit the Dubro Micro Clevis ends (Dubro #921, and #917).
