The pull-pull would definitely solve the lateral movement problem while in the UP position.

Ahh Ok, I wonder if using the pull pull system would slack the lines enough when retracted to not allow any movement of the wheel.

It does. I put the servo up under the cockpit not where the factory has it behind the cockpit. This way it is easily accessed. It is virtually impossible to service otherwise. No issues with control or the gear doors and it saves some nose weight as I always use a heavy metal gear servo for the tail wheel.

Status: offline 		I used a pull-pull system on my Z Corsair. Much smaller airplane but still 36 pounds.

I made a pulley out of a series of servor wheels. The cable wrapped around this then to the tail wheel assembly. The pulley system was mounted on a set of rails that allowed me to adjust it to take up the slack in the cables beyond the link adjusters. I drove the pulley with a solid link to a servo. This system allowed tight cables when the TW was down and slack when retracted. It also kept the load off the servo as it only drove a push pull solid link. There is no loosining of the cables as the pulley turns.

I've used this system on all of my big warbirds (tail draggers) and it works quite well. I even use it on pull pull rudder and elevator as there is no differential due to the arm position and it reduces the servo side loads.

I don't have a good picture. Maybe I can model something on Solid Works.

I'd like to add your gun lights to my Corsair. Would you send me a set for a price or a list of parts and links to buy what I need?

Hello, I got my green Corsair off the shelf after 1 ½ years, to start working on her. Started with the elevator.

Question. How do you mount the carbon fiber rod into the hole of the elevator.
The rod easily fits in, and could be glued, or screws could be used from the underside. Which is correct and the right thing to do ???

The glue would be permanent and you would not be about to get the hinge rod out if there were a need to do so. Or did you builders use screws. The instructions just are not that clear. I reviewed Sam’s thread but he used a carbon fiber tube. Thus I am at a loss. Thanks Dr. Bill

If you elaborate a whole lot with specific instructions I would appreciate it. And pictures.

Here are some pictures so that you will identify what I am speaking of.

Check post # 289 for detailed instructions.
Basically, I had to solder a brass loop on the removable brass tubing to be able to remove it and allow the elevators to be removed. This is also why I had to use new hollow CF tubing so the brass loop would fit inside the CF tubing: a screw was used to secure the CF to the elevator.
An easier option would be to drill a hole on the outside of the stab to insert the brass rod to hold the elevator to the stab. You could then use the kit enclosed solid CF rod on the opposite end of the elevator.
