I finally got the CF rods I needed for my Brushless SL today from the LHS. I attached them to z-bent wires using a method I learned by building the Swyft from Liftworx. It uses heat shrink tubing and CA. It's easy to adjust, lightweight, and very strong. It's kinda cold and windy outside, so I took a little "spin" with it inside.
