HyperFlight 1.3/2 Pushrod Set
Description
This pushrod set consists of a 1.3 mm carbon rod running in a 2 mm outside diameter PTFE tube. This excellent quality pushrod set is long and strong enough for many types of models, and for a multitude of engineering uses.
This type of inner rod and outer tube is sometimes called a Bowden Cable. It is important that the ends of the 2 mm outer tube are secured to the structure. It is even better if the complete outer tube run is glued in place. This can be achieved in tailbooms by temporarily fitting a piano wire inner rod and clamping the tube to the boom with magnets. Then liberally dribble in CA unto the upended boom, until the CA appears at the other end of the run.
Sold singly - one inner rod and one outer tube per set.
If the pizza box option is shown these can be sent by coiling into a pizza type box, or they can be kept straight and sent in a 1.5 m long postal tube at extra cost. If sent coiled they will straighten out well. Please remove from the pizza box with care!

Excellent pushrods
I needed a set of Ultima 2 R/E pushrods and these are perfect! As usual, Neil's service is spectacular and they arrived sooner than expected, and in perfect shape inside the pizza box.

Ordered these for a restore project on a thermal glider. as always from Hyperflight, the exact product I was looking for at the right price and delivered next day even though I ordered late in the day. Amazing as ever.

Good items - very good length, which is why they were bought. Need to be installed as straight as possible. Very good service.
