Hi everyone, had mention to Rackman how I used a piano wire for my tail rotor. Wanted to share some photos to let you know anything is possible. A regular push rod is too stiff and won't bend. So the piano wire was going to use as a spring for Hulk Jr. landing supports wasn't flexible enough. What I did was use fine copper wire and wrapped it tightly at each end of the cut off push rod. Then I just soldered them in place and it's strong as hell. Cut a grove in the styrofoam lining the inside of the fuselage for easy movement of the push rod.
