Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

OPJose - I setup Pull-pull on the rudder. When the gear retracts, they go slack, when the gear extends, I have enough tension on the steeing assembly so that it feels great.

Also - I didn't feel comfy having 3 servos on one channel, so I put the steering on Aux2 (disabled the switch) and have it set to mix at 65% with the rudder. It's active all the time, but of course when retracted, there's not enough tension on the lines to try and move anything. Terry posted pix a few pages back...I had to dremel a bit to allow for the actual steering arms to lay down, and I shortened them to only the first hole. (You don't need much throw).

See the pix on Page 99. THANKS TERRY!

I'm really looking forward to flying again tomorrow!
New Jet, later today my wife picks up her new 328i, and I got lucky with the tail boom (read my earlier post)....so today *IS* a good day for sure!

I sure learned a lot working on this plane from everyone on this forum! It was my first time with Air retracts, and I'll tell you that I will NEVER do mechanicals again!

Cya!
