A re-working of the Nose Gear on the RC Shark. These pieces replace the "front gear lever" and the "front gear spring" of the standard design.
The RC Shark model plane here on Thingiverse is great.https://www.thingiverse.com/make:524192
However, I had problems with the nose gear suspension/steering. I couldn't keep the plane going straight down the runway for takeoff. The steering goes through the suspension spring, so with my flying field's rough/bumpy surface, it wandered too much.
I re-designed it. I'm still not entirely happy with it (for a couple of reasons; the lever traveling up into the battery holder, and the slight change in steering as the suspension moved), but it was still much better for me. Consider it a work in progress.
