Default Mechanical Retracts?

I am curious. I see lots of people using straight wire, spring steel etc to run the linkage between the servo and the retract. Is it possible to use a flexible cable instead? Or do you need the rigid quality of a solid wire? I am getting set to build a king kobra and I am going to use mechanical retracts but there is not enough room to put a retract servo in with a direct line of sight to the nose gear...
