Hi guys
my nose wheel steering arm on apprentice came out, it does not appear to be broken, how can I install it backm are there other options if i cannot install it back

I'm not familiar with it but I know that a couple of members here have the Apprentice so should be able to help out. Any chance you can upload a pic of the situation?

There are always options. I am unfamiliar with the assembly and have not seen any photos that I can use to figure out how the nose gear fits in the plane, but you can always take off the rear landing gear, hand launch the plane and belly land it. After damaging the landing gear on my Cessna, that's what I do. Just make sure you kill the motor before it touches down.

hey there,

this is a photo of mine, can you tell me if it looks the same, then we could see if any parts are missing

The screw is the most important part, it centers the wheel as well as holding it in place. it could be posible the it may have vibrated loose. There were a number of screws over tightened and under tightened on my plane when i first got it.

I am puzzled by the picture.

The two turns in the front wheel wire seem in line with the fuselage center but the horn seem to be at quite an angle toward the viewer.

This would not provide a symmetrical nose wheel turn.
The pic is a little fuzzy on my monitor so perhaps I do not see well. It appears as if the pic was overexposed.

If I am off line here then please disregard this posting.

Yes that I correct, what I ended up doing is drilled a larger hole on both the sterting arm , fitted a larger nose wheel

Sorry, I cannot see what you did else than you now have a larger nose wheel.
