Default Mechanical Retracts ,Pushrod Info

Note that any flexible type of pushrods that slide inside plastic sheath will not work when connecting the servo arm to the mechanical retracts. You need a solid piece of wire to push the cams in the mechanical retracts to the full up position. Plus, it takes a lot of torque to bring those wheels up. Any flexing in the wires could leave you with the wheels not fully locked in the retracted position.
