thierry laurent Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 For sure! I was just wondering if it was not possible to decrease a little bit the amount of weight put on the nose LG leg. In any case even the full scale plane was a tail sitter. This would help in solving the leg problem. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to part-built it and see how it behaves, and if it's possible to decrease the nose weight. But the way the nose landing gear leg is designed it would definitely need some strenghtening, even with an lighter nose weight. It's a kind of cantilever, it's very thin, and only made of resin. Actually all the strenght is in the metal rod, the resin cantilever is only for the aesthetic but has no structural purpose.
