It was my first time. and things started with my 'a' Pike breaking its elevator pushrod at the clevis in the back on a hand toss (too many nose in landings must have stressed), so I was down to one plane before i even started.   Then my charger had a lose wire inside so had to work on it.   M

Warren, it looks like a nice quiver. Appears as your ready for just about any condition. Since I have Escapes, I wouldn't mine adding any of the other three to my selection. Soon Any back order on new Pikes? Who has them? At 09:53 AM 5/28/2005, Warren Mansonhing wrote: I've put some

I just get 2-56 threaded brass couplers and ream them slightly to fit the pushrods. Less hassle, a lot cheaper and no worries if I should ever need to replace a clevis down the road. Tom Jo Grini wrote: Did not know it was difficult to get metric clevices. I will tell Samba. Maybe they wi
