RE: 101" C-130 arf
Hey Mr DJ,
Re C130 nose gear.
I dont know what I'm going to do with it yet, other than exchange the retract and nose gear for a new one that is hopeully less sloppy. The nose gear door actuator is held to the nose leg by a spring wrapped around the leg. Its too flimsy.
One evening I'm going to draw the whole thing on AutoCAD and see if theres a more acurate configuration. Only problem is that I dont have a lot of build time available in the coming months, so I might just remove the nose gear door for now. I have not yet installed the main gear doors for the same reason. With any luck someone else might have figured it out and shared the info here.
On the subject of the F-15's.....
I am thinking about a first turbine. The baby boomerang sems popular as a turbine trainer, but I've heard that the F15 is a very stable first turbine platform too. I know which one looks better. Would any of you F15 jocks care to share your thoughts on the matter here?
