Spark plugs send out RF signals which can travel through the metal and into the radio compartment
I see. I thought that was the reason...

Noah,
You might want to consider using a metal cable to the nosewheel. It may reduce the chance of transmitting a damaging mechanical shock to the rudder servo from the nosewheel. You can use soder to stiffen the ends that project out of the guide sheath.

Interesting. It really didn't occur to a newb like my self that there could very well be a damaging shock to the servo. Makes perfect sense though. This is how my nylon pushrod was kinked. I was taxing around in my field and the nose gear struck a lump and kinked the pushrod at the clevis where it connects to the servo horn. So every time I went to make a left hand turn, the nose gear (without any resistance left) would turn completely perpendicular to the fuse, and it would come close to doing a face plant. I thought by replacing it with a metal pushrod, that it would eliminate the possibility of kinking and all would be good. I believe the metal pushrod would solve one problem but could possibly cause another.
Thanks for the advice Stan.
Oh! And I also though about increasing the size of my nose wheel too. I think that would help. But if I do that, should I increase the size of all three wheels?
