Cheers Ozzy,
I,m sat here right now reading the build manual
& I thought the steering mechanism was a little suspect so will be doing something similar to what you did to make it a more positive steering system.
I wonder what its self centering would be like , I,ve thought about putting a bungy cord ( under tension ) into the steering so that it will always self center . do you think that is worhwhile ?
cheers
