Hello
Well I have framed the wings but now I have a basic question about the retracts.
I have pretty much decided as for my first kit in such a long time I will go the mechanical route. Now on all the retracts I have seen the actuator rod (I am not too sure of the semantic on this one but it is the rod which will be connected to the servo) is inline with the strut so it is pointing toward the wing tip. Well if I install the servo just forward of the one for the flaps, so amidship; how can I connect the actuator to the servo. I have looked at the metal pushrods which come with the kit for an idea on what to buy, but it seems to me that if I make a straight line tween the servo and the actuator then at the actuator the push and pull will not be linear. Now is there a semi soft cable I could buy, maybe guided at the retract by a pulley which could go from the servo, then loop around at the retract to be facing the actuator rod.
Sorry if it seems a bit a complicated explaination
As always thanks for your time
Cheers from Maryland
