Wondering if you know a source for carbon fiber rods at various lengths.

Thanks,

Central Hobbies has the best I've found.

They supply Tom Morris who has the best selection of control linkage hardware I've ever seen.

Tom Morris, also RSM (rsmdistribution.com) or Brodak they are all great sources for control system parts. If you’re a member of PAMPA they are all listed in Stunt News. I highly recommended supporting the small group of suppliers that cater to control line. Tom Morris has the latest in carbon fiber push rods for control systems.

In the search for hi-tech stuff for models, try... www.modelresearchlabs.com

Hope I spelled that correctly...!

This is a site specializing in free flight model stuff, so weight is an issue.

He lists solid and hollow carbon fiber rods, also some great old f/f models powered with little ol' Mc Coy 60's...nothing to sneeze at!

I have been to the free flight competitions at Taft, Ca a few times...when I'm not trying to learn the pattern, of course...the big 60 powered free flight models are a little like a freight train going straight up.
