Default RE: FOX COMPOSITES Bae HAWK, Build thread

I chose the Robart 105deg unit for the nose retract. I cut off one side of the steering arm and soldered a length of steel wire to the remaining one for the sliding steering servo link. The Eurokit 15080 sprung steerable noseleg is just right for this model.

To avoid having to angle the nosegear bulkhead back a whole lot to get the wheel fully retracted, I installed the unit on 15deg beech wedges so the bulkhead could be more or less erect. Pic 5.
