It’s fine George, know what it’s like hunting for the best solution.
Used a cranked pushrod, clevis on retract tiller and ball end on long servo arm. The servo is mounted on a plywood plate in the space between fuselage and front gear structure. Glued the homemade plate in with hysol and had to dremel the fuselage a little to clear the tiller arm radius. Not with the model so can’t send photos but it should be clear when you look at how the front retract sits. Button head screws allow the pushrod to clear without binding.
