Landing gear mains
I have a trainer, Avistar, and due to several field dart exercises, the nose wheel and firewall has been slightly used so to speak. I have seen on these forums Avistar converted to conventional gear. Question is which gear, metal, was used like Dubro etc. also which tailwheel assembly. I was thinking of steering with the rudder attached to the wheel rather than servo. Any information would be great. So waiting patiently because you guys know your stuff . gphil

RE: Landing gear mains
Don't know about an Avista specifically, but you need to move the mains forward until the axle is about even with the leading edge of the wing.
Here's a link to a previous thread:

The tail wheel can just caster or you can add something like a Sullivan.
