Again, I have seen a lot of models with carbon rods and std Rx's, but not known of any problems. Now, when shall I start repairing that xxxxxxx!

The special receivers have longer antennae so that they can be placed outside a carbon fuselage. Other composites (glass and kevlar) do not need the antennae outside because they do not shield the signal like carbon does. A carbon-friendly receiver will not be necessary in a wooden hurricane even if it does have a few lengths of carbon in it.

Pete - Have you considered using a closed loop system on both rudder & the
elevator, would be very light.
Would require a short pushrod connected to bellcrank at the rear to work the
elevator.

Pete - just seen your post re carbon in carbon pushrods

Support Mike Seals comments - I once installed a carbon push rod in short carbon support bushes and they fretted very badly with the dust residue causing friction so Don't do it !
