Re: [RCSE] Carbon Pushrod Help!

[Michael Lachowski]

Most likely cause is you did not clean your pushrod end before attaching 
it.  They often have some oil inside them from the machining.

My favorite is to use the european 2mm pushrod ends with .080 carbon 
rods. Perfect fit compared to using the US stuff with .070 carbon rods 
which almost fit.

Crush end of the pushrod a little to fray it for a thigher fit. 
Sometimes you can do two crimps with cutters to add a mechanical fit in 
adddition to the glue.

I had a carbon pushrod brass end come off in flight over the weekend. I would like to hear options on putting on the brass ends to the carbon pushrods?
