This is the kit piece for the steering arms with the pushrods cut off. It could probably be modified to look better, but I found it more useful as a reference for scratch building a new one.
This is the result. The aluminum band sticking up is part of the tail gear locking mechanism. This piece would be rotated down if the gear was locked, meaning the pilot could steer with the rudder petals. But because my tailwheel is in the unlocked, fully castering position, this arm is raised. Haven't made the pushrods yet. Those will get added closer to installation....and because I'm lazy and don't want to do them yet.
