Status: offline 		I would try to move the servo feedback pot to the steering arm itself somehow. So the servo will drive until the wheel itself is centre. would still need air and leak free system.

Status: offline 		With all the bad press and lack of instructions, when my friend Eric Baugher passed away we sold his back unstarted to a composite ARF rep for a huge loss, since no one wants to deal with the problems this kit has just like the gear problems on the older Mig that was never resolved.

Status: offline 		my 2 cents. I guess issue is due to the displaced nose wheel being forward of the main "strut". If linear actuators and all other tries are a no-go then I say either engineer in there a gearing of the nose wheel to a center shaft running inside the main strut. Or forget the scale look and just go direct drive nose wheel to a shaft running inside the main strut. Shaft would allow the servo drive to be hidden up in the nose well somewhere. Both ideas require machining of course.

Status: offline 		Guys !

Then CARF has to spend some of their Flash margins to cure my/our A-4 Skyhawk
steering issues !

For the money I spent on this bird without asking questions, I will increase the pressure to get a sollution - on the other hand we can ask if any of the existing A-4 customers has ever flown or tried to !!

Why should I spent hours of thinking on a 4000 EUR undercarriage – that’s my point.

So please don’t hide, come forward and tell me that I am totally wrong in my comments !

Peter Bang with a big B

Status: offline 		Peter that's just my point as well. Andreas should fix the problem instead of making it yours as a customer. History repeated it self becuase he can hide from everyone overseas just like he did on the Migs gear issue, but unforntunattly he already has your money just like before.

Probably because no one really wants a real solution to this problem?

Status: offline 		Andy,

If you drill a hole the steering cylinder (about the center of travel) and the master cylinder (also about the center of travel) you can put a fill port in the steering cylinder and a bleed port in the master cylinder. Then you should be able to fill the system from the lowest point (steering cylinder) and force the air out and up the pressure line (s) to the bleed port in the master cylinder for each direction of operation. The trick will be to not create a burr in the cylinders that the piston will hang on. Maybe JB weld the fittings to the outside of the cylinders


Just an idea,

See you at Kentucky,

Bob Neal
