On my 1/96-ish Los Angeles class submarine i'm building, I plan to use pistons to move the rudders and planes (not sure if there is even another way). However, I can't find any 3-position pistons. Any help?

And you won't. Because there
[color=#000000]And you won't. Because there simply is no such thing. Or you should be referring to 2 cilinders with their buts together.
Both in rudder full left
1 in, 1 out neutral
both out rudder full right.
But why piston?????

I could have sworn that
I could have sworn that I saw something like a 3-position piston before. Probably something else though.
And the reason I was planning to use pistons, is that this is my first time making anything RC or electronic, and have no experience at all. Small 1/2 inch pistons for about $6 didn't seem like such a bad idea.
Looks like I'll be using servos now, thanks

Alex...Stick with servos. Tried, true,

If this is your first attempt at an R/C submarine, you might give heavy consideration to one of the kits by Subtech, designed for first timers. They have done the engineering and math for you, and you end up with a very nice model that actually works like you want it to. The whole model submarine experience is lot's more complex than it might at first appear, and there is no need to try and reinvent the wheel.
