Deadeye.

I have a set of retracts in a 64” span Chipmunk built by someone else and am far from an expert. The lock travel on the retracts is 1/4” on both ends and after they lock it appears that there is no way the retract could push back at the servo. To avoid bell cranks I am mounting a standard servo for each retract in the wing. Won’t be the first experiment that did not work out.

After tearing into the wing to find the sponge bell cranks I would always use access doors for anything that might need repair.
