Chapter 13 – Nose, Nose Gear, Pitot, Rudder Pedals and Brake Master Cylinders

This is a BIG chapter, where I will focus on the nose of the aircraft, installing the front wheel and all the things that comes with that, rudder pedals, brake cylinders and pitot-static system. I have purchased the electric nose-lift from Jack Wilhelmson and all the front-wheel hardware that he delivers.
