Default RE: Improved method for centering nose gear

Hi,

We don't recommend the cable steering method for the Mig 15, the geometry is really bad for cable steering in this kit and the upturned servo ends up right where you need to get your batteries............. as far forward in the plane as you can. Not to mention it would be a pain in the ....... if you need to get the gear out for any on the field service.

With the Mig15 Gear Instructions we show an alternative way using a push push system that uses the standard steering arms that we supply with the gear. The servo is mount rearward on the floor of the fuse under the cockpit area. There are some pics of this on our webpage at http://www.intairco.net/default.asp?...oGalleryCat=22

Incidentally the centering pin is largely token on this gear, the trailing nature of the nose strut/wheel ensures that the gear stays centred in the extended position and even more so when it is retracted.

Hope this is useful.
