<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Moose Boy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 1/8" CF rods are really nice for the
ailerons. Very stiff and light, but make sure you use light clevis/control
arms too or it will not buy you much. Not sure what the elevator setup is
on the Focus. If it's down the middle, the 5/32 and 3/16 rods are both
very light and work fine. a guide inthe center of the rod is not a bad
idea. This doesn't have to be structural. Just something to prevent
oscillations, like a cross brace of light balsa with a small cube of foam glued
on top of it. the foam would have a slice halfway through which the rod
slides in.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What size Central Hobbies carbon pushrods
should I use on my Focus. The homemade ones from the previous owner
don't give me a warm fuzzy. These push rod will be for the ailerons, and
elevator halves. </FONT></DIV>
