Depends on the size of the plane you are constructing. If you are making bigger and heavier planes it is better to use metal push rods. But if you are into smaller and lighter ones you can use these carbon rods.

Refer to my micro build where I have used 2mm dia carbon rods along with ball point plastic refill and 'Z' bend paper pins with micro servos! They work great!

Hope this helps!  :)

Happy Flying  :thumbsup:

you should consider removing that ! mark from topic name. it breaks link and when user click on it it just does not show right page.

@Atul

Ya you are correct. But I can't remove the '!' sign from the main topic subject, can I? If so please let me know how.
