Put a little scratch in the rod and even you will be able to break
it. I do not use carbon fiber wing or stab rods because of notch sensitivity.

So did any of you guys try breaking a 1/8" carbon tube the length of
a usual stab axle rod today?
Just wondering what your observations about the experiment are?
The topic actually inspired me to modify my build on the MPX Cularis
kit to use a 1/8" carbon tube for its stab axle, instead of the
skinny steel one. Which will break first, the foam stab or the 1/8"
carbon stab axle?
