Darrel from Sierra giant has made this, basically when the gear opens it extends the length and when it retracts it shortens. I have them on my carf p-47, nice set of gear.

Carf A4 kit gear has it. It's in the description on this page:

caution though, I recall reading somewhere that these things have a functional problem but it might be something u can work with.

This is a good idea too! The wheels (it's a double wheel setup) need to be around 3.5" dia. for the F89 nose gear setup.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I just spoke to Darrel Tenny the owner with Sierra. He's going to work with me to come up with a design. Since they already have tail wheels that work in this fashion it shouldn't be to hard to make one work.
He has also offered to look at the A4 nose gear issue again. Apparently he was in consultation with Comp ARF on this years ago but Comp ARF went another direction.
Thanks again for all of the replies.
