just while roaming around the industrial estate in belgaum came across a shop who deals in steel ( hard steel ) wires.... he has got 1mm, 2mm ,3mm wires/rods which can be used as control surface linkages of for throttle even for elevator joiner if u get threading done at one end it is as good as a snake instead of the push rod ( saves weight for small planes of-course :P ) searching for a person who can do it... thought the fellow RC mates having trouble to locate the same in the local market this may be useful he even stores brass tubes of different sizes the same as we use in the tank assembly (:|~ the rates are as follows 1mm x 2.5 ft --- :Rs:20 2mm x 2.5 ft --- :Rs: 25 4mm x 2 ft ----- :Rs: 35 (can be bent into desired shape for landing gear they are the same as that supplied with PHOENIX ARFs) 5mm x 2 ft ----- :Rs:40 brass tubes / copper tubes any diameter :Rs:40 per feet can send if needed no packing charges shipping at actuals can call me on 9738382454 if required :salute: :salute: Title: Re: Snakes, throttle linkage and landing gear strut.....

And very generous of you to offer to send. I am having trouble finding them with sufficient stiffness. Will definitely request you if not successful soon. Thanks.

1mm x 2.5 ft --> 10 nos. 4mm x 2 ft --> 1 nos. please PM me total cost with shipping and your banking details. Title: Re: Snakes, throttle linkage and landing gear strut.....

Title: Re: Snakes, throttle linkage and landing gear strut..... Post by: flyingboxcar on April 13, 2011, 01:23:57 PM Very easy to check if the wires are tempered or not. Take a sample piece, bend it and then try to straighten it out. If it is tempered, it should snap and not straighten. A non tempered one would take few bendings and straightening before breaking
