Hi Guys I've got another question,
My directions show an akward bend in the end of the pushrod where it connects to the servo. It sort of resembles a "v" with the side before the bend at the same position as the side after the bend if that makes sense. Iam just wondering if these bends are necessary because by just using the pushrods as they are, straight, my landing gear seems to work fine. Does it really matter which way I do it? Thanks in advance.

if the rods do not interfere with each other on the output arm I would leave them alone.

Those bends are shown and recomended to ensure ther is no biding throut the travel of the pushorod in both directions (and yes they are a pain in the but ) to set up ! so I feel your pain however i would have to agree ....( even though I personally don't see how? ) if there is no biding issues and they work fine don't fix what ain't broke

Good Luck

You didn't mention on what airplane you are installing the retracts on, or if you are using just mains, or mains and nosewheel.</p>

If you are talking about the bends at the servo, usually the mains are installed with the rods underneath the servo horn and the bends are to allow 180 degree rotation of the horn without binding or twisting the rod around the stem, and the nosewheel retract is installed with the rod on top of the horn to keep it from interfering with the mains pushrods.</p>
