Thanx, I’m hopping to have a Scout XL ready for SEEF.

Awesome... How about releasing an STL part for the Mini Explorer's landing gear next?

Is there a build video or some kind of assembly instructions?

n the build video for one of the XL’s.

Probably the Super Scout XL.

Probably the Super Scout XL.

The SS XL build vid shows the install of the steerable tail wheel, but not its build.
J Bix says it's in another vid, but doesn't say which, and there is no link. I can't find it. Anyone that knows, add a link here, please.

After a whole lot of looking, I;ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t one.

LOL. I was able to look at some of the videos, pause them, and go from there. It's a little "custom," but it works, and it Sooo much better than the skid

Couldn’t find it either. Been looking like crazy. Maybe someone can reach out to Josh about it ?

I ended mimicking the bends from the video and got it looking decent if you’d like I post the measurements

Sounds like a helpful plan!

Here you go.
The 1cm bend in 90 degrees to the left or right to allow the wheel to sit straight on the rudder.
It should be about half of the width of the wheel.

Ohh and the angle should be about 45 degrees.

Anyone else take a look at this, then think "Huh... mount this Inside a small airplane, face down, add a micro servo, and you got a steerable nose gear for $5.99 + $5 for a servo."?? No? Maybe it's just me and the way I look at things out of the box. While trying to open the parachute.
