Retractable Steering Linkage

589, Retractable Steering Linkage (Hobby Hack)
Here’s a way to connect Rhom-Air, steerable, retractable nose gear. The .018-inch standard steel control-line cable or nylon fishing line slackens as the gear retracts, and this allows the centering spring to operate. The bellcrank to which the cables are attached is a cut-down ½A control-line bellcrank. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
