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.

Here are some more pictures. It uses a Mercury Marine hydraulic power pack.
I'll work with Chris to get a schematic.
