I think many of the current owners have replaced the stock gear with Sierra Precision due to the many issues with the factory set.
The Sierras have an ingenious pin-and-slot arrangement that prevents the nose gear from turning while retracted.
Some of the guys use springs to keep tension on the pull-pull cables when retracted and that seems to work.
Good luck.
Can't wait to see the video!

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat
hello i have century jet landing gear and there is small iron bar to block the stearing when gears are up but it doesnt block anouth,
the gear are perfect and realy reliable, but this front wheel is turning, now i will also use some elastic to hold the cable in place cause also this weekend the cable that control the gear went into something and at the
moment i open the gear down she was twisted on one side, had to put it up and use rudder and down again and it was all ok hopefully ;-)
Any one has an idea to block the wheel up (not turning while up)?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span new="" style="font-family: ">I finally flew my T-Cat and am very happy with the way it flies. I just have to work on the landings! This was my 6<sup>th</sup> flight on it in two days and flight number 9 on the plane. I did have to make small adjustments after the first 3 flights the sensitivity of the elevator; ailerons and rudder made the T-Cat look unstable in the air and difficult to land. A little more expo and slowing the servo speed down on the JR-X9303 and it flies great! This is a link to a video of flight #9.

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The batteries are a 10s 2p 5000mah Thunder power Extreme V2 and they are barely warm at the end of the flight. I never come close to full power most of the flight is at 1/2 to 5/8 throttle.
