   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.

   Paul, if you want hydraulic steering there are several manufacturers making a sweep cylinder like that. Parker and SMC come to mind.
