[RCSE] Aileron & Flap Carbon Fiber Pushrods

[Robert P Buxton]

Open Question to the group:  Has anyone had experience (good or bad) 
with using carbon fiber push rods for their aileron & flap servo 
linkage.  This past season, due to slow thumb response at that 
critical moment of retracting flaps just before touch down, I was 
bending the flap push rods (bottom hinged, linkage on top of flap, 
servo arm on bottom of wing.  Carbon fiber rods would give 
stiffness/rigidity but would they be prone to breakage?  This set up 
was/and is on a F3J 144" Shadow.  All comments and suggestions would 
be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Robert
