Default RE: CGRCJets A-10 Build Thread

The former that connects the first 2 formers has a cutout for the nosewheel. Behind that cutout there is another cutout for a servo for the steering. I used a extra long aluminum T servo control horn that would clear the strut on each side. I used all thread on each end of the control horn to drop down the angle of the cable pull pull setup. The second picture shows a small hole outside the opening where the strut retracts into. There is actually a hole on each side and these are used to keep the cables away from the strut. The all thread when put in the control horn will strattle the strut when in the up position and the cables will connect to the bottom of the all thread. You will also need to cut down the horn for the steering mechanism for clearance at the formers. I do not have any good pictures of this setup because Tam did not want me to glue the nose formers in and he wanted to install the retracts. I guess we will see what he has up his sleeve. I will try and post some pics as soon as i can.
