RCFusion`s 1.5mm Carbon Push Rod With Horn is an ideal lightweight performance linkage for 3mm depron aircraft.
Part Number - RCF004 R.R.P £3.50
Features two 165mm and stiff carbon rods, two black nylon clevis and two black ultra lightweight horns.
It provides the ideal push rod for small lightweight shock flyers where minimum weight and maximum performance is required.
The horns will fit 3 or 6 mm depron foam with a secure snap fit. Ideally suited for aileron control or for rudder and elevator when servos are mounted at the rear of the fuselage.

Complete carbon push rod with horn installed on Shock flyer aircraft.
| 1 | Remove contents from packaging and check you have all the components. | ![]() |
| 2 | Place the horn onto the control surface in the correct position and gently push the prongs of the control horn into and through the foam. | ![]() |
| 3 | Push the black retaining cap over the control horns prongs, you will see two positions for the cap to snap tight. One for 3mm foam and one for 6mm. Whilst supporting the whole assembly push the cap until it snaps tight, this can be tricky! | ![]() |
| 4 | Attach the servo to be used onto the model with the servo arm in line with the control horn, so the linkage has a straight run. | ![]() |
| 5 | Insert the carbon rod into the control horn. | ![]() |
| 6 | Clip the supplied clevis to the servo. Slide the carbon rod into the clevis, and mark the position of the rod at the control horn end. Ensure that the control surface and servo is in its neutral position before marking where to cut. | ![]() |
| 7 | Cut the rod to length with a fine toothed saw. Although very small avoid the carbon dust as it can be an irritant. | ![]() |
| 8 | Next "key" the surface of each of the carbon rods with sand paper to produce a good surface for the glue to bond to. This is important to produce a strong reliable linkage. | ![]() |
| 9 | Apply Medium C.A glue in turn to each end of the carbon rod and push the carbon rod into the horn and clevis. Allow a moment to let the glue cure. | ![]() |
| 10 | The linkage is now complete and should be checked for security before flying the model. | ![]() |
