A few years ago (5 years maybe more), Jed Jacobsen flew a fully scaled out F-5 with a scaled functioning canopy at Kentucky Jets. If I remember correctly, his plane even had an adjustable nose strut that could raise the aoa of the nose for take off. I believe the nose strut was controlled by air pressure. Does anyone have any info on who makes the adjustable strut for the F-5? If the strut is available, I think it would improve the rotation of this plane.
