Steering control linkages for PT Boat w 3 rudders
I was wondering if anyone had an idea on the best steering linkage configuration for controlling three rudders in a 48 inch PT boat model. I need to know what it looks like and what parts I will need to make it work. There is a single servo to control the three rudders.

jkotlanger,
Its a little crude but this worked for me. I used 2 single control arms and one double from Dumas.
I made a larger servo horn a screwed it to the original to give me adjustability and maximum throw.

Dino,
Thanks for your prompt reply. It looks like I need two dumas straight control and one double control horns to make this work. Thanks for the pictures. John K.
