🔄 Inner & Outer Sleeve Design for Smooth Movement

🧱 Use the Included Stiffeners
The package includes end stiffeners. These add rigidity to the final section of the rod where precision matters most—especially for elevator, rudder, or throttle control.

✂️ Trim the Outer Sleeve After Installation
When installing the outer sleeve, leave extra length outside your model.
Once the sleeve is glued in place, trim it flush using a sharp hobby knife or sanding block.
Tools that help:
🪛 Prepare the Sleeve for Better Glue Bond
For a strong bond, roughen the outer sleeve with coarse sandpaper before gluing. This gives your epoxy or CA glue something to grip.
Recommended supplies:
🔩 Install Hardware Correctly
Be sure to install the included hardware exactly as shown in the diagram. Always use a lock nut on at least one side of the Lazer Rod to prevent loosening during flight.
Grab extra hardware:
➕ Extend Your Lazer Rods if Needed
Need a longer run? You can use threaded studs to extend the rod beyond the standard lengths. This is especially useful for large or giant-scale builds.

🧴 Use Dry Teflon Lube for Tight Bends
If your routing includes tight curves, spray a little dry Teflon lubricant inside the sleeve before assembly. This reduces friction and helps your servo work more efficiently.
