Off Topic Pushrod Question

[Henry McClusky]

This is a bit off the mark but I'm looking for some help.

I'm building a scratch build model rocket of my own design.  It has a removable cargo bay that is stabilized by (3) small strut rods.  I'm thinking that perhaps some sort of pushrod from a CL or RC plane would work well for this.

Who is a good vendor for these small clevises and threaded rods?

Thanks.

You can get 2-56 or 4-40 threaded rod and clevises from any of the online dealers or most local hobby shops if there are still any in your area.  As far as online, I like A Main hobbies: https://www.amainhobbies.com/ or Tower Hobbies.

Henry,

Start by looking at DuBro

And Sullivan

There are various grades, weights and strengths of these components. Some are engineering plastics (strong), and some are steel.
