Default Tail Control Rod
Hey guys,

The OD of the CF tail control rod is 4mm on the TDR right?


Thanks,
Rob

Some brass cylinders to replace the two lengths of heat shrink on the control rod?

The heat shrink solution sucks. . .

First priority are the new blade holders, which are coming along very well. Next thing on my list is coming up with a new, more elegant and more secured way of mounting the links to the tail control rod. I was never a fan of the whole idea of just gluing the set screws into the rod.

Now that school is just about over I should have a lot more time to devote to these projects.

Thanks for the support everyone,
Rob

While I applaud your devotion to making an already almost perfect design better, jb weld makes that connection as solid as needed. Now if you came up with a slide in from the rear battery tray with click together battery connection. You would make a lot of friends! Or a magnetic canopy post that kept the original placement. The clip system works but is a pain. Either way. Keep up the great work

I was trying at a hardware store, but finally found the proper size at a local Hobby Shop.
Who would have thought . . .

Yes please Rob. But can you also do cheap shipping to Europe? I've a feeling that postage would be more than the bronze sleeves...

Here are some pieces from brass, I just tested the fit with a 4mm CF rod and a TDR guide I had left over, they fit NICE! They glide through the guides much better than the heat shrink.

45mm long
