Hey Marvin,
Wow the nose gear looks great without the cable set up. On mine i had a couple of rubber bands attached to the middle of the cables
under tension and as the gear came up they pulled the cables away from the gear and cleared it. just one question with the servo
mounted like it is what will you use to pull the rear nose gear close when is retracted.
Also just uploaded pictures of the flaps and slides.
Jerry.
Hey Jerry
,
Good morning my friend yes indeed the nose gear looks great and free of the cables, jejejeje, I love it. on the other retired C-130 we had some springs doing as such with the rubber bands, if i understand your question correctly the rectangle aluminum which is mounted on the base that ataches the strut if you look close i have used two 2/56 screws, counter sinked them and then used 4/40 screws holding the servo, and that way it goes in and out with the strut base, so all it is the cyclinder does the same job nothing has been changed on the nose gear strut, and the nose gear door back one has a different mechanism and the front door has its own piston in with a sequencer, well hope that was the correct answer Jerry and looking forward to seen your C-130 flying soon again
