RE: Nitro Models Formost 150 are in the USA
RCISFUN,
Sorry to disappoint you, but your set-up of the nose wheel retract and steering will not work in the Formost-150.
If you absolutely want to use this idea, you'll have to make so many changes that the benefit is neglectable. And your servo will also be hanging under the fuselage...
Only good option for retract steering is to have the servo installed straight behind the nose wheel and connected with pull-pull cables ; take a look at the other thread, we have been brainstorming already quite a bit on the best location. With the presently provided bulkheads, it is not really possible to do. The air tank(s) are in the way and so is the mid transversal rib. This being the main reason why I redesigned new bulkheads for the main tray and all supporting formers as well, although, basically, the supplied parts would have been sufficient to hold the radio equipment.
Me too, I wanted to install two rectangle tanks at first but they are not optimal for the incoming air flow through the air inlets.
The single round tank is much better for the air flow, besides less complicated and more reliable than a twin set-up, and can be drained up to the last single drop of fuel when using a single modern clunk. Take a look at the evolution of the thread, I abandoned that idea of twin tanks in the process.
In case of having a fix landing gear (i.e. as supplied with the kit), you can install the servo upside down in the foreseen servo mount in the wheel bay (see also foreseen opening in the main tray above the mount in the wheelbay) with two pushrods in Z-shape (Simon from Singapore did install it that way). With retracts, you can't, as the level is very much different and you have to work with flexible cables.
