Rick,
Thanks for the link. We might be able to make a group purchase.
An alternative is the Sullivan GOLD-N-CABLE #507. They are a bit heavier but available at most hobby shops. Just not as nice as teflon.
John

Subject: [BugHLG] Modified Bug Plans- a note about pushrods
I like this sudden surge (or re-surge)of interest in the Bug and the idea of drawing an updated plan.
Regarding the music wire in teflon tube pushrods I used: I put those in as an after thought because I had materials left over from building a 1.5m DLG, and I had to make the holes in the F3 former with a dremel tool in the completed fuselage- not fun.
If you intend to use this style of pushrod, I recommend remembering to nick the F3 former on either side for them before gluing it into the fuse. Much easier that way. :)
In case anyone is interested, the etched teflon tubing for pushrod housings can be found here:

NFI of course, I just think it's a cool way to do pushrods.
