Default RE: Improved method for centering nose gear

For some reason the carf mig nose gear is very hard on steering wires, i broke many. I ended up getting some thick wire (cable) from the hardware store and i have not broken one in many months of flying. I bent the tiller arms 90d and have not had an issue with the wheel twisting or the wires getting tangled on the wheel in over 80 flights. The wires do not need to be very tight as the nose strut is a trailing type it gets snug as the jets weight sits on it. All in all the setup works and is dependable. There is an alternate method described in pictures on the Intairco web site.
