Erich,
I was just about to look on McMaster Carr's site for 1-1/4" nylon rod.
I'll look to see if I can get the MDS type.
I too thought of trying to reduce stress at the OR1
I am thinking of making an OR1 to use for testing the legs for flex,
including the original one on my other wing that did not break...yet.
Thanks for the tips, Kevin
