Old Fart,

I did make the decision to forgo the stock steering gear in favor of the Sullivan 10 to 22-pound gear. A couple of reasons for that, one was because I was shown some stock full-scale landing gear and it's in front of the rudder and just like a Waco. The second was because although it's far from stock, the Sullivan LOOKS more scale than what is supplied. And now, seeing the springs, I'm happy with that decision.

One of the reasons that these springs are typically so light is that they can "fight" the servo if they are heavier-duty and wear down your battery because they are stretched on both sides. How much? I don't know. I just find the Sullivans work great and so I'm going with that during this build.


I'll post the photo of the supplied gear here.
