RE: A4 Skyhawk build
The gear is worth talking about. As usual the quality is as good as it gets with the higher end stuff that Skymaster make. The mains are twist and turn with lovely wheels and brakes. The nose gear is interesting in several ways... The steering is accomplished using hydraulics and is completely proportional and the nose oleo can be lengthened and shortened via the transmitter to change the AoA of the aircraft on the ground which is similar to what the full size did. The nose oleo automatically shortens when retracted by releasing the pressure in the reservoir, when it retracts the second slender cylinder pulls the oleo in. It will be hooked up to a multifuction valve for retraction with a separate single electronic valve for the oleo adjustment.
