I'm building the hobby King Fidget http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__36753__HobbyKing_Fidget_Funfly_Aerobatic_EPP_Airplane_w_Motor_840mm_ARF_.html.
The pushrods are carbon fibre. Two pre-z-bent servo connectors with a straight carbon rod between them, then 2 pieces of heatshrink tubing are slid over the joints and shrunk over each end (before the z-bend). Like this:
The problem I'm having is it's just not working at all. The carbon rods are slipping up and down inside the shrinktube.
I've tried a little tape inside before the shrinktube but they still slip. These are about 1mm dia. rods.
Obviously a little epoxy or maybe even CA would work, but I was wondering If anybody had used this method before and had any tips?
