Cheers Geoff, so same way the current raft of big Hawks are done - was wondering if he would have used and designed an clever new system which allows for redundancy.

That nose gear setup looks very nice and clean Anton! Locking mechanism saves a lot of space and extra components. Very nice, works very well on the nose gear of my F-14.

Can someone post a picture of the model sat on tarmac RTF. There is just something that looks wrong with the length of the gear or maybe the spring rates? Skymaster always always get the gear spot on so I'd be surprised if they made a mistake on this one - but it just doesn't look right. Here's how a large Hawk should look sat on its gear....

My pics were all actually all of the Tomahawk Hawk as they're the same size ;-)
Anyway, Danny are you able to confirm the gear is 100% scale in terms of length etc. Anton always told me his intention was for this Hawk to be competition ready so I'd have thought the gear would be spot on. I just can't see it being right - I've been a Hawk aficionado for about 10yrs and something is jarring with me. Like I said, maybe the wrong strength springs are in place at the moment and it's just squatting too much.....

See above where he responds to the low position. You can see that the main struts are compressed. Come on man! You know Likai is the master of gear making. Guy goes out with a ruler to measure full scale gear!

Haha! Likai always gets gear spot on, hence my surprise. Ah, you're better at understanding Chinglish than me - if they're not charged then that would explain the sit. Hmmmmm. Is there an AUW with the P200 yet?
