Default Jr. Skylark nose gear.

Anyone know of any vendors who might sell this ? I suspect I may have to make this from 3/32 wire.

Thanks

Not too hard to make one. Get a K&S wire bender and have at it. You only need one loop for shock absorption. Brackets and steering arms should still be available from at least one or two sources. Won't take long to do.

I agree with getting a K&S bender and giving it a try, maybe several tries. I found with my Skylark 56 that I liked the fixed nose gear. Less hassle than steerable gear because nothing comes loose and it's very rugged. On grass, to taxi, you just hold up elevator and steer around with the rudder. You can also use mini or micro servos without stripping gears the way you might with steerable gear. Jim
