How to use a z-bender tool 101

[rcpilotp51]

Z-benders are handy...but im too cheap to buy one...two needle-nose do the job for me. :) Great video! Thanks for resurecting :D

I will make one on tuesday on how to make one without owning a z-bender tool

@tallguysd thanks you!

[popylocodropit]

could you show how to make a good bend with just pliers?

Do z-benders come in multiple sizes? for example, I want a small z bend for a microflyer, medium or  a large etc...

[tom98277]

So what do you do with the other end? How do you make it work to hook into the control horn?

I have the DuBro bending tool, this one is much easier and quicker, gonna have to pick up this one :-)

Not sure how people live without Zbends...

I don't use carbon, but bend often! ;)

Great Vid Robert! I use these all the time, used them on my Swift II Nightflyer I am building last night. I do one thing different. When I install the pushrod with a Z on the other end, I make it while attached to the control horn. To keep the CA from flaming up, I use my soldering iron to shrink the tubing. Less likely to flame up and melt a foamie. You should do a sequel to this showing how you make the length of it correct. Thanks, Diggs
