so when I took apart and recovered my starduster fuse I should have replaced the pusrod, but I was in a hurry to fly and didn't.

The pushrod that I am using is rather heavy and in my opinion to big. it is about 2.5 inch diameter tube and it must weigh a good 20 pounds.

I want to replace it.

I haver a few ideas but I know there are people that know much more than me, so, suggestions?
