Freewing 70mm BAE Hawk Nose Gear Brace

thingiverse

This STL file is still in development and has not been thoroughly tested to ensure that strut fits snugly within the designated slot. A carefully designed brace is included to provide crucial support to the nose gear during hard landings, thereby preventing excessive wear and tear on the retract mechanism. Fortunately, this brace can be inserted without removing the plastic cover plate attached to the fuselage's underside. To secure it in place, simply push the brace back until it aligns flush with the rear edge of the retract bay. For added ease of installation, a small amount of rubber cement provided with the kit can be applied before sliding the part into its designated position. Note that two STL files are available: one is optimized for use with upgraded struts, while the other features a smaller slot designed specifically for original wire landing gear configurations.
