Herc Driver Wrote:(This is a crazy idea...but...) Would bicycle tire spokes be rigid enough (and possible to hide in the scenery) that you could shorten the distance between you and the turnout with them, so that you could still throw the switch manually? (I told you it was a crazy idea.) Or what about using the plastic rods used in RC airplanes?
Hi Kevin,
Yup Sullivan golden rods used in R/C planes would be ideal as they're 36/48/60 '' long and can be extended easily with thread rod very flexible.
