Default RE: Carl Goldberg mechanical retracts

OK, thanks for the help.

These retracts were installed in a very old, .60 size, TF P-51A that was passed on to me. The older fellow was getting out of the hobby. I thought about just pinning them with the gear down, but the tinkerer in me would not let go. They are very stiff, probably from lack of use, but the problem for me is that the throw from the servo is not a straight line. I had thought about replacing them with a newer set, but the previous owner did suck a great job of installing these, and I would have to rebuild the wing from scratch. The only photo I have seen is from the original directions, and it shows the push rod bent down at an angle. Before I sheet the wing, I thought I would see if anyone out there had the instruction sheet, or had any knowledge from using these retracts.

Thanks, Bill
