... I can tell you that the Falcon 880 had at least two different carry through configurations. ... Falcon 880. This is his first unlimited fullhouse plane. Problem is he has misplaced the wingrod.

[RCSE] Re: wing rod - - ejector pins
I noticed a comment about ejector pins being used as wingrods. I made up a bunch of them, they're inexpensive, beautifully finished, and don't want to bend. They will certainly break. Want to see the one I broke in half during a 'dramatic arrival' with my quasoar? I keep the pieces around as a conversation-starter. And the wings were unmarked. The rod just didn't want to know about bending. But ejector pins are inexpensive and will certainly take any airloads I can give them.
[RCSE] Re: Wing Rod
I can sell you a piece, but you will end up paying about $16 plus shipping. Call your local machine shop and ask for HSS drill rod blanks. They are precise and very hard, but not brittle. You can have them cut them to length, or you can buy some here: http://www.drillblanks.com/inch_sizes.html You may have to buy a 24 piece.

( an 80's term) You can get 5/16 ejector pin for Dixie, and cut the head of with a rotary tool. http://www.dixiepins.com/products/ej_pins_chart.htm I grind and polish the ends round for easy insertion. Ejector pins come in lengths from 4 to 14, though 36 can be had from some sources. Make sure to keep in mind the loss in length from cutting the head off. They have a hardened core and an even harder nitrided surface that resists wear and corrosion. You'll probably never manage to permanently set a bend in one. McMaster-Carr also sells them, but for a premium: http://www.mcmaster.com/ -- Andrew E. Mileski Ottawa, Canada http://isoar.ca/ RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

True, especially when if you do manage to bend one the next stroke of the punch press will break it and spray pieces of the die set all over the room. :-)) I have seen them broken, but not in a RC sailplane. michael AMA77292 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
