Ron Wanttaja wrote in message . ..
Anybody got some suggestions for sources for small 90-degree actuators like this...or any other ideas for retractable antennas? Ron Wanttaja Mid 80's Subarus used a fairly small motor to power their center headlight retract mechanism. Haven't looked at one in years but as I recall they were palm sized units.........Surly you could rig something similar with an electric motor from Tower Hobbies (or even adapt a servo)an SPDT and a couple of limit switches? ================================ Leon McAtee Homebuilders required books: McMaster Carr Grainger MSC Enco Tower Hobbies AS+S

Ron DOES get surly when working with electrons, especially with those moving rapidly. {;-) Jim (Leon McAtee) shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -Ron Wanttaja wrote in message . .. -recall they were palm sized units.........Surly you could rig Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.
