I got the nose wheel steering servo hooked up and it looks like 10mm from the center of the servo gives the max travel you can get. I hooked up the gear to some air cylinders and did some videos of the function finally. I must say I am a bit worried, the nose is fine and the down swing on the main gear is fine. The problem is getting them all the way up and to not hang up, for some reason the lock cylinder isnt pulling the support arm back over so the gear can fold on the left main. Both main gear only go about 75% of the way up, so if the doors were to close they would hang up. The gear really needs a looooot of air, I will probably go with two large tanks. Just a not I hooked the air tank up to each 2-way so it was getting the best it can with air flow. Videos are uploading
