ACP's carbon rods are made from continuous carbon fibers in an vinyl-ester base. They are extremely stiff and lightweight and have a very low coefficient of expansion, making them ideal for use as push rods. The .050 diameter rod can be used to reinforce wing leading edges and spars, or as a fuselage stringer stiffener. Either the .070 or the 1/8" rod can be used as a push rod by inserting it into a Sullivan tube. The threaded brass couplers can be bonded to the rods with a thick CA. Carbon fiber ribbon can be wrapped over the joint and saturated with CA for additional reinforcement. The 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" rods are being used for wing joiner rods on glider and slope soarer aircraft. The 5/16" high modulus rods are manufactured with 50 million modulus carbon fiber and offer the highest stiffness to weight ratio of the rods available. The high modulus rods are brittle and care should be taken not to induce point loading where the rod slips into the tube. If a metallic joiner tube is used, the ends should be deburred and flared outward slightly.
