Rod ends! Thanks.

The rod ends are just the dingles on the ends though, right? These guys:

The assemblage of the two rod ends and swedged/tapped tube in the middle must have a different name, I would think.

In any case, splitter is what I have in mind for my presumptive scavengings as well. Don't yet own the vehicle that I plan to put it on, but that's a minor detail

Picked up a total of 4 signs when out this evening. Didn't get the really big one I'd been eyeing- upon closer inspection I'm thinking it was put up by the people whose property it is on so I don't consider it fair game.

Running down the road on a windy night with a 4x8 sheet is difficult.

Rc airplanes are best built with coro I have several that I used to learn to fly with and to teach my son when he was little. They are called spads (simple plastic airplane designs) SPAD to the bone has lots of plans and tips for working with coro.

The assembly is called a Turn Buckle. It uses 1 LH thread and 1 RH thread rod end.
