I always use THICK FLEXABLE CA GLUE like IC 2000. Cut the end of the carbon rod off with diagonal cutters. This crushes and splinters the end a little and helps the glue grab on to the rod. Then I clean up the inside of the brass with a small file. Use plenty of glue so some glue forms a fillet at the end of the metal fitting. When I want to reuse the metal fittings from an old model I heat up the metal with a soldering iron and the fitting will pull lose.

I had a carbon pushrod brass end come off in flight over the weekend. I would like to hear options on putting on the brass ends to the carbon pushrods?
