Original CF & Best Push Rod Combination

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

Stronger & stifferand a whole lot lighter than other rods! 

Less than half the weight of a threaded metal rod!  Central Hobbies Carbon Fiber & Titanium pushrods produce less wobble or deflection under load. Titanium fittings have approx. 3/4" of barbed insert for gluing into the rods and 3/4" of threads for adjustment. When properly glued (see below), you won't find a better solution for your control linkage.  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.

 

 

Four Diameters: 

1/8, 5/32, 3/16, and .210" (approx. 1/4"). 

Different rod ends allow for different thread sizes.

Central Hobbies' original 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!
