Having had a carbon joiner (rod) snap on me without warning I'll never
use one again. They're very strong but if they go they just snap --
there's no sign of trouble, just one second you're launching normally,
the next you have a three piece sailplane.
I've not heard of any problems with carbon tip joiners.

Hi All,
I'm in the process of desigining my wing for my "road trip" plane and would like to
ask for recommendations on wing rods. I have 1/2" ID carbon tubes that I'll be using as
spars but don't know what to use for the wing joiners (rods.) The wing will be 4 panels so I
need to consider joiners for the inner panels as well as the tips.
Thanks for your help,
