Default TF .60 P-51 Retract servo

I am working on the fuse and noticed the plans dont really show the retract servo installed. I'm guessing it goes in the somewhat square hole in front of the other 3 servos. It is too small for the standard servos, so what kind of servo would be used for that? I have to figure out a mechanism for the wheel doors still so Im trying to determine what I have available as far as interior space.

You need a low-profile retract servo like this one:

It is for the air valve, I already have a retract servo for the doors, it is too big for that hole.

Oh, I thought you were using mechanicals. If you are using pneumatics, the air cylindar, restrictor, valve and (standard) servo usually mount in the fuse.

Yep, I got that part, the location of the servo though is not clearly listed on the plans, and I believe it goes in the square hole in front of the other servos. I just dont know what size servo, like a mini or what. So if someone has done this, I'm sure someone has, I just need to know what was used for it.

Just about any servo will do,, many guys use a micro to save weight,, don't need much torque to operate the valve
