Sorry for the hijack but please show certain "builders" what a nosewheel looks like and how it should work

More spec on the steerable nosewheel will be much apreciated.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, I have started a new one to cover the aspects of the steerable nosewheel....

As mentioned in that thread, the steerabel nosewheel is a factory standard feature in the Vixen Borienne, but a few bushbaby owners have included it in their build too.

Below is a picture of my Vixen shortly after it was completely stripped down - you can see the nosewheel tot he side as well as the airframe mounting points for the nosewheel....

Once the restoration was under way, the next two pictures show the nosewheel in place with the engine also mounted.

The next picture shows the wheel mount from the rear of the firewall....

I found these two pictures of a steerable nosewheel bushbaby that I think "Boet" did the conversion on.... (ZU-ARP)
