curtmcgirt 2 Posted January 20, 2021 The manual says the steering rods are 63mm and 80mm. Did they never use these sizes in other sets specifically re-releases? I was looking at grasshopper, grasshopper 2, and hornet, but theirs are shorter. What's a suitable replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67CamaroSS 304 Posted January 20, 2021 Go out and buy a threaded rod. Any hobby store that sells planes should have it. Then just cut it to length. You can buy a 3mm rod to use the stock ends or a 4mm for a more heavy duty application but you'll need bigger rod ends, which you can also buy at the hobby shop.

curtmcgirt 2 Posted January 21, 2021 5325005 5315009 I would buy them if I could find them. I may go down the threaded rod route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curtmcgirt 2 Posted January 28, 2021 the stock rods are 2mm, not 3. but amazon has them in various lengths, threaded on both ends. so i can cut them in half and z-bend them. thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
