Hey Tom and All. Tom you need to get your facts straight before you make statements about other companies products. Don Richmond and Whyte Wings sell aluminum and steel joiner rods YES. However the aluminum is NOT 6061 HT6 IT IS 7075 T651. The fact is 6061 HT6 is not stiff enough for the types of models we sell and supply joiners for. That's my 2 cents for tonight. EW.
