Linear actuators for model control

[twilightflyer]

Newbie here with a modellers question.

I know that this is not the proper place to ask this question as I have trawled the net and found no answers whatsoever so I am hopeful that you good guys may be able to answer.
I am building a radio controlled model aircraft of the Grumman F14 Tomcat and I want to use the variable wing set up by using a linear actuator.
The system would run on a 6volt supply and the trunnion would transverse the thead
ed rod until it hit the microswitch.I am hoping to control the mechanism using a Futaba servo.

You can get linear actuators designed to be plugged straight into the RC Receiver. Unfortunately, they are not cheap, e.g. Linear Actuator L12-50-100-06-R

If the model is worth a lot, a professional linear actuator might be safer!

I can't help with a cheap Receiver-controlled switch to keep the cost down by allowing you to use the cheap linear actuator.

You'd perhaps get a better answer on a RC Forum.

Good luck

Many many thanks for your answer, I have found an answer on a RC forum site as you suggested, regards
