Hello to all,
I am in a confused state as I can't figure out how do I use one side threaded pushrods I got them from rcdhamaka I also bought so many clevises along with it.
I searched on google but found nothing.

On the threaded side use the clevis. On the other side either make a Z Bend or use a linkage stopper. See some model photos in the forum

Actually it is very hard and making Z bends is impossible

So? Use linkage stoppers.

You can use with linkage stopper



or

Heat the tip with butane torch, make L Bend and use with "EZ-Link-L-Bend-Keeper" available for all thickness of push rods. image below.

I searched on muav and aeroworks but couldn't find the linkages

Making z bends isn't hard. If you have a needle nose plier or a normal plier grasp about 7-8mm of the rod from one end, and then use the remaining wire to act as a lever and bend it up. And then you can grasp about the same length of wire from the edge of the previous bend holding the plier about 90 to the bend and follow the same process.
I've been doing it for all my builds.

You cannot make Z bend with a threaded control rod at all. Why Z you cannot bend it at all. It will just snap off when bent. Only after heating it red hot you can bend it. You need to still aneal it after bending to prevent from still snapping off.

use a clevis on the threaded side and make a snake bend if the Z-bend is too hard to achieve...
The snake is faster and easier to do with pliers/vise, just ensure to start with bending the small stub first.

Once you master the snake, here's how to convert snake bends to Z-bends

I use a cycle spoke which is threaded on one side. I then cut the spoke to the desired length. Take my die cutter and thread the other end. Now I can use clevises at both the ends. By cutting the threads a bit longer than required, it is easy to make fine adjustments in the length by rotating the clevise in and out.

Buy a die cutter which can cut the desired diameter/pitch threads. I had taken the cycle spoke along with me when I had purchased one years back. I still use it. For the thin control rods I find the Z bend as a nice option for which a nose plier is enough.
