Default RE: Pull Pull Rudder and Tailwheel on TF P-47

this is what I did for my TF P-47 60, I used a HD Futaba servo with a large Dubro horn, for the connectors I went with ball links for the pull/pull at the servo, on the retractable tail wheel I used EZ connectors so I could adjust the wire fishing leader cables.

the rudder has a pushrod connected to the servo with a EZ connector so its easy to adjust, I filed a flat in the pushrod and locktited the connector when I was satisfied with the set up, this was my first attempt at having a retractable TW and P/P cables.

I have since refined the method I like better, I use leader crimps at the TW to hold the wires, this could also be done at the rudder as well, and small EZ connectors at the servo arm, it makes it alot easyer to adjust the pull/pull wires, the second set of pics are from my latest FW 190 build
