Jon,
Question for you. Did you use the current location for the steering push rod or did you move the pushrod wire to a new location for the steering? I used the same unit in mine but I had to pull out the plastic housingand drill new holes in the two bulkheads and then put backthe plastic housing in the new holes. It was binding like you said. Not to the point where it affected the rudder but once I lined it all up and drilled the new holes for the pushrod it was fine.

ok here we go....I have been struggling with this for a while..the "tail wheel" kinda running outta ideas but its a retract tail wheel with this retract http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXYSH2&P=0 Got the gear doors working for the tail wheel but I am having a major issue with the steering for the tail wheel. When the gear is down the steering is fine but with it retracted it binds when you use rudder so the rudder wont work. the steering and rudder are all on 1 servo. Been thinking about a pull pull system for steering or put the steering on a separate servo. Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
