Very clever indeed, I shall have to look through your channel for more information like this for beginners like me. Many thanks and have fun, Joe

If you forget the shrink wrap, it is just as easy to wrap the pushrods with thread about an inch from the 90 degree bend, saturate with CA or epoxy and it'll be even stronger than just using shrink tubing. At least with 1mm pushrod using a thread/CA joint, the wire will bend at the thread when directly stressed. May not be literally bulletproof, but i have full confidence a servo would fail before the connection. Just be sure to get the 90 degree bend at 90 degrees and all is solid with no slop. For those like myself, who still don't have a z-bender, this alternative method just simply gives better results.

So glad I happened upon your channel there Andrew. Indeed a brilliant (as well as inexpensive) way to secure push rods between the servos and control horns providing both security, stiffness and strength with only slight increases in weight. Cannot wait to try this but first I'll look for those pliers over at Hobby*King.

wow!!! amazing.

Many thanks!

Nice one!

awesome idea. you want to make it even better? loop the smaller wire around the pushrod as to create an eyelet then make it so that it goes back inside the shrink tube so there is no sharp end. makes for a cleaner more robust retainer

Andrew: Very interesting! I've never seen this before. I like the spring retention of the pushrood onto the control arm. Is there a strategy to achieve the ideal pushrood length? I missed this point in the video. If we get it too long or too short, must we start all over? Jim

Only downside is they are not adjustable, but they are cheap and unbreakable.

I do like this style of pushrod end and if the rod is long enough, you can add a double "z" before the servo for adjustment.

If you can get the control horn off the servo then you could use z bends on both ends of the push rod?

Definitely, you can put a V bend in the middle of the pushrod also to allow some length adjustment.

cool

I like the idea a lot, but there is quite a lot of play in the connection, which may make the aileron or ruder or what have you very floppy in the air. any idea on how to get rid off that?

Just have to drill the holes more accurately and use a drop of CA if the servo arm hole is to big.

@ericnielsen9574

I've found that the amount of "slop" in the controls really don't matter on most aircraft. Yank and bank foamies wont care at all. Sailplanes or high end stuff will need more care. Andrew is correct, check your drill and worst case, expand the diameter using CA. I use a caliper to check the diameter of the rod. Then select the proper drill bit when expanding or making holes.

@All4Grogg

6 жыл бұрын

The easy way is to heat the end of a pushrod up with a lighter and use that (without burning yourself) to expand the hole. Perfect size every time. Not my idea, was shown this decades ago by a man whose name i've unfortunately long forgotten.

do i use the smallest diameter shrink wrap i can find to attach the pushrod to its respective connection at the tail side?

Yes you can make adjustments if you put a V bend in the middle of the pushrod. You squeeze the V to make it shorter or you open it up to make it longer.

Unfortunately it is not adjustable for trimming aircraft.
