Best Push Rod Combination

for R/C Pattern, IMAC & Scale Model Planes!

Stronger & stifferand a whole lot lighter! 

At less than half the weight of a threaded metal rod, the Central Hobbies Carbon Fiber & Titanium pushrod is more rigid, meaning less chance of flutter or deflection under flight loads. The Titanium fittings have approx. 3/4" of barbed insert for gluing into the rods and 3/4" of threads for adjustment. Available in three diameters with matching fittings.

All sets include 4 Titanium end fittings.  Fittings and rods are also available separately in several sizes. We suggest cleaning with alcohol, then glue with JB Weld for reliable permanent fittings.

Our Carbon fiber rods are also available in .210" outside diameter (just under 1/4"), and 38" long with 4-40 and 6-32 fittings for the largest aircraft.  Call us to order!

A 12 inch section of the 5/32" CH Carbon pushrod stock weighs THREE GRAMS. Add the pair of Titanium fittings and total weight is only 4.5 grams plus a small amount of adhesive*.

Compare this to the typical "standard" 12 inch  threaded 4-40 rod at TEN GRAMS without any clevis or pushrod fitting!  Add one solder-on threaded end (do you like to solder?) and it's over 13 grams without a clevis.

The carbon fiber 1/8"rods come in 35" lengths, and the 5/32" rods are provided in 24" lengths.  At full length on the 1/8" rods, you'll want to run a bushing to support the rod in the center – at lengths under 16 inches no support is needed to have rigidity superior to 4-40 rods.

The 3/16" diameter rods which are 3 feet long, solve the problem of the "longer runs" found in setting up the Dual Elevator Bell Cranks. Thread sizes available for the 3/16" rods are 4-40 and 6-32.

  

*We use JB Weld ($4.99) to attach the fittings to the pushrods with excellent success. While other adhesives might work, we strongly recommend using JB Weld!
