• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

When building my elevator push rods I am going to use the AN490HT11P inserts. These are built for .035 tubing. So the question, is it better to machine down the insert to fit the .049 tubing or use .035 tubing instead. I know its not usual to size down but my thinking says that if these are made to fit .035 that must be a popular size to use for pushrods, no?? I want to go this route to eliminate the concerns of the rod ends not fitting the tubing correctly as discussed before in earlier topics.

Thanks, Nick
