Freewing F-35 Lightning II V2 nose gear spacer

thingiverse

This is for the Freewing F-35 Lightning II V2 with 360 thrust vectoring. This is a nose gear spacer to increase the angle of attack on the ground. I found that my jet wanted to "stick" to the runway on takeoff. I tried making the strut a bit longer first but the gear didn't fit in the pocket of the fuselage then. A 4mm spacer between the fuselage and the nose gear gives just enough more angle of attack that it takes off nicely now and the gear folds as it should. It no longer "pops" off the ground. It should be about a 30 minute print on most printers.
