Dubro 101: Lazer Rods

[@WindCatcherRC]

Thanks for this video. I'll be sure to point people here when they have questions on how to use the lazer rods.

We definitely appreciate that!

What is the external diameter of these please? Cannot find it anywhere - I need to order a suitable drill bit, and want to do so at the same time as buying the pushrods!

Hi Andy, The O.D. is .225"

I'm going to need to install the 4 Inch Long Wire Extensions on the tail end of the Laser Rods. You showed that they are included in with the Laser Rod Kit, but you didn't show how they are secured to the end of the inner translucent colored pushrod. Can you tell me the method you recommend using to secure the 4 Inch Metal Extensions to the inner pushrod?

Hi Michael, I think you are talking about the threaded stud. That self taps into the tube for a tight fit.

[@michaeldamico5152]

what I didn't understand is that the long, blunt end of the Stiffener is first slid all the way inside the end of the push rod and then only half of the threads thread into the end of the pushrod. I mistook the Stiffener as an "extension" of the pushrod. Thank you for clarifying how it is supposed to be installed. @@dubropineridge

Can you tell us how much push rod expansion per foot we might experience from cold weather building season to warm weather flying season?

Hi David, We have never tested for that specifically so I cannot be sure. I can tell you that it has never come up as an issue in many decades so for most (if not all) model applications it should not be a factor. That said, if you need more information you can feel free to reach out to us via email at [e-mail] and we will help all we can. Thank you!
