Rockhem Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Why do some people place their nose gear backwards? Edited June 13, 2013 by Rockhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flixxbeatz Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) They do it to prevent the aircraft from veering to any direction during takeoff. Also for aesthetics sometimes.EDIT: I thought nose cones, sorry Edited June 13, 2013 by Flixxbeatz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Reese Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I do it to keep my space planes from nosing over on braking. Just gets that extra bit of forward support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmenius Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Like Markus Reese said, for forward support is one good reason. I also place them that way under the Mk1 Cockpit if I want the craft to sit a bit lower to the ground, usually for small aircraft and spaceplanes. Those craft also tend to need a longer wheel base, and turning the front gear backwards can help accomplish that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
