fool on the hill Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 How-in-the-hell does that nose gear retract? Is the top on a trolley that moves to the rear??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viperjoe Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 How-in-the-hell does that nose gear retract? Is the top on a trolley that moves to the rear??? the first movement of the carriage to the front ... only the lower part, however, because there is a junction on the main harnesses that come down from the bay cart ... executed this movement .... is retracted back and the that's it ..... I did not invent anything .... it's real ..... and if you look on youtube you can find various videos where you can see how it moves the nose gear....check!! sorry for my bad english and ciao ciao -GIO- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
