Replacement carbon canopy hatch for the Sapphire fuselage
3.4mm outside diameter, 2.1mm inside diameter semi rigid polypropylene tube 1.5m long. These tubes have a low coefficient of friction, making them suitable as pushrod outers for our 1.5mm and 2mm carbon rods and tubes. They can also be used with 16 SWG or 14 SWG piano wire inners for larger models. We recommend that 1.5mm carbon rod or 2mm carbon tube is used as the inner, as 2mm carbon rod is a slightly tight fit, increasing friction slightly. The 1.5m long outers will be delivered coiled i...
1.5m length of 1.5mm carbon rod running in a 3.4mm outside diameter low friction semi rigid polypropylene tube. This excellent quality Bowden Cable is long enough for the largest models. Weight = 14g for 1.5m of inner and outer. Sold singly. These can be sent by coiling into a pizza type box, or can be kept straight and sent in a 1.5m long postal tube (extra cost). If sent coiled they will straighten out well. Please remove from the pizza box with care!
As supplied with Vladimir's Models gliders, a 1.5m length of 1.8mm carbon tube running in a 3.0mm outside diameter low friction semi rigid red plastic tube. This excellent quality pushrod set is long enough for the largest models. Sold singly. These can be sent by coiling into a pizza type box, or can be kept straight and sent in a 1.5m long postal tube (extra cost). If sent coiled they will straighten out well.

A very lightweight clevis, as used in the Sapphire model. The hole for the rod is approx 1.8mm, making it suitable for some threaded metal control rods and carbon tubes or rods. Plastic body with a brass snap-in pin. Supplied in bags of 5. Weight: 0.16 g each.
10m of high stretch silicon rubber tube, 6mm OD, 4mm ID. This high stretch tubing should be made up with 60m of suitable line to make a great high start for launching lightweight gliders up to 2m in span and 800g in weight. Excellent for launching a Blaster2 without any gyrations! For more info see: http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/design/dickwilliamson_histartphysics.htm
10m of high stretch silicon rubber tube, 8mm OD, 5mm ID. This high stretch tubing should be made up with 70m of suitable line to make a great high start for launching gliders up to 3m in span and 1500g in weight. For higher launches we recommend using two of these high starts to double the length of rubber, with 100m-120m of nylon monofilament line. Excellent for launching Sprites and AVAs.

Low friction 1 mm OD PTFE (Teflon) tube suitable for pushrod outers on discus launched glider and other small models. Also suitalbe for a large range of engineering and industrial uses. This tubing is specially etched on the outside, making it easily bondable using many adhesives, thin CA being probably the best. Provides the lightest, easiest, most friction-free pushrod installations possible. Can be stretched to 3 times the original length to reduce the weight per meter, and tune the inside ...

5 m of very thin Kevlar thread. Suitable for pull-pull or spring-pull linkages on DLGs and other smaller models. Safe for 10 Kg (22 lb) load. Also suitable for building FF and RC models where lightweight and good strength in bonding of joints is required. Modelers use it to join carbon fibre rods, lash metal wires to balsa structures, etc with great results.

These beautufully molded wing servo covers are light, low drag, and look cool! They incorporate a shroud to cover the servo output arm, clevis, and the control rod. This reduces the turbulence and improves performance measurably. Supplied in pairs. Trim to size to suit your application and attach with clear tape.

One pair (one left, one right) blistered carbon fibre wing servo cover, as used on the Supra, Graphite 2, Sprite, and other Vladimir's Models planes. Trim to size to suit your application and attach with clear tape.
These exceptionally well molded blistered wing servo covers are light, low drag, and look cool! They incorporate an aerodynamically shaped blister to fair the servo output arm when using a top drive linkage. This reduces the turbulence and improves performance measurably. Supplied in fours - not pairs as in most of the other servo covers we sell. Neil's comment: I really like these servo covers as the blister has been well designed to reduce drag to a minimum. The moulding is to a very high st...
