Chris Hoskins invented this power steering device for Canard nose gear
here in NZ.
It will work on any nose gear airplane including you Tango guys. It does
an excellent job of damping in the bargain. In fact a tail dragger would
benefit as well. I am thinking about building one for my RV4. The tail
wheel would be locked straight ahead for landing and then could be
steered back to the hanger.
IMHO this is a major development.
Good work Chris. I love it.
Chris is also building his own Ford C6 based six pinion planetary gear
box for his p-ported RX8 engine.
He is using the Ellison copy Rotec carb from OZ.

Very interesting idea, but I wonder if the rubber seal would last that long.

Use teflon encapsulate silicone rubber.
