i decided to use steel steel push rod instead of using a carbon tube for the rudder. so i'll need a rudder push rod guide. the problem is the eco 8 was design to use with the "snake" push rod. it never has the push rod guide for the tail boom.

i'e though about using the trex 500 rudder push rod guide. but the trex boom diameter is 15mm. i even though about sanding the inner diameter to 18mm. but it will be too thin. so i though about using the hurricane 550 push rod guide. butthat model uses a 20mm boom. so that don't work either.

does any one know another make of helicopter in the market that uses the 18mm diameter boom. i just need the push rod guide.

thanks

A few winds of tape will let you use an oversize guide (like the 20mm you found).

I have a CF pushrod and it doesn't need any support.
