Started looking at the nose gear assembly tonight, flats on the nose pin are a must for me. The kit includes ball links for both ends of the steering linkage but I like a nylon horn on the steering servo to reduce the pounding they get. I used a Clevis and still got a perfect alignment. the clean nose needs a wedge to get the 105 degree nose leg vertical, the parts provided by CARF required no trimming and were identical.
I was mighty impressed the whole nose assembly went in without any notching or trimming around the leg, wheel or linkage!
i treated myself to a new drill today, came in time to fix the nose unit in place 🙂
