Links and Hinges
 
Top quality quick links, ball links and push rod connectors in various sizes for most types of model aircraft ensure a positive connection between the push rod and control surface for smooth reliable operation time after time.
In addition to linkages there is a comprehensive range of hinges to suit all different scales of model aricraft.
 
  Quick Links  
Clevises are made from spring steel with precision stamped centre pin providing extra security meaning this is a strong and reliable clevis for connection from servo & control horns providing positive free movement with no binding.

  Mini Snap Links  

Economical plastic snap-links that screw onto cable link adapters or 2mm threaded rods. Ideal for connecting the carburettor throttle lever-preventing interference if metal clevis were used, i.e. metal-to-metal.

  Push Rod  
M2 standard push rods are available in nine inch lengths and are perfect for most models, the eight inch M3 rod is manufactured to the same high quality as the more popular M2 size but with the additional strength and security that the M3 rods provide. A wise choice for larger and heavier models, or models subject to high loads and stresses.

  Close Loop Wire  
A complete closed loop system that contains everything the modeller needs to install and operate surface controls by the “push pull” closed loop method. Included in the pack are, three metres of nylon covered wire, aluminium ferules, brass threaded wire to clevis connectors, nylon wire guides, plated 2mm clevises, black nylon double sided control horn, and illustrated installation guide.
These closed loop systems offer the most precise method of control with no slop in the link between servo and control surface, and they are can be used with many for elevator control.
