It really is almost looking like a full-scale airplane build, with all these wires and air lines spread around! I love intricate systems.

Happy new year!

I believe that is the nose gear. Looks like he's testing it to make sure the steering linkage is lining up. This ain't no tail dragger! LOL

Ooops....my bad. I knew that. Just wasn't thinking and it looked like a tail wheel from that angle. Dumb question on my part.

Not a dumb question, it does look like that. I was testing to see if my radio really shut down the nose steering before the gear retracted. The real B-36 had on the checklist that you had to turn off nose wheel steering before you retracted the nose gear.

Thanks, DAG

That thing is starting to look like the inside of the B-52. ( I fly one everyweek) Now all you have to figure out is how to add fifty years of stank and burnt chicken from our small oven.

That's the nose wheel. Probably just cycling the steering.
