SuperRods
Our Nitride Hardened Super Rods are the most rigid, yet safest wing rod you can use. With enough load, ANY wing rod can fail. It is HOW it fails that makes a big difference Many times you will see rods advertised as "case hardened". If that is true, then they are brittle, and when they fail they will snap. (NOT a good thing!). Carbon fiber rods have the same problem... plus they much be much larger in diameter to have the same strength. Our Super Rods are hardened on their surface, making them extremely rigid, but have a softer, inner core. If you manage to over stress one, it will bend, before it breaks. You may land with dihedral that resembles a seagull.. but you will LAND!

Jaws & Mini-Jaws Landing Skids
Our Jaws and Mini-Jaws landing skids are molded from dense urethane... they can be attached with urethane glues like ShoeGoo, Goop, etc. or mechanically with sheet metal screws. They are tough, but flexible... so they absorb some impact force, rather than transmitting it through to your fuselage. The standard Jaws has 3/8" teeth, and are well suited for landing on grass. The Mini-Jaws ave smaller, 1/4" teeth, and have a better grip on bare dirt or asphalt.
