Wondering if anybody has changed out the lg...particularly the nose gear with oleo/trailing link? That stiff-legged front strut is begging to be bent or broken.

Re: Freewing A10 landing gear change
Greetings Alan,
Funny you should ask.......
I got caught by a sudden crosswind last weekend which caused my A-10 to land about 3 feet off our paved runway and into our clumpy desert grass and needless to say it bent the front nose gear back exactly as you said/expected.
I can't speak to the replacement process because no one has any front nose gear assemblies in stock, unless you want to buy the complete 3 piece gear replacement package just to get the front gear.
So, I might just have to go that route if I want to get the A-10 back in the air without waiting who knows how long until the single front nose gear assemblies are available again.
More to come......

Re: Freewing A10 landing gear change
Greetings Alan,
Luckily, if you elect to go that route, MRC has the complete 3 gear set in stock at $48 and change.
I figured it couldn't hurt at all to at least have the main gear replacements on hand just in case.
Also, to be on the extra safe side I picked the complete plastic replacement parts package for $8.00.
We'll see how this goes.....
