X.4264 X.4263 Regarding the steering of the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), we are very anxious to know the result of the long stroke spring buffers and I have also thought it possible that a longer steering pendulum lever might be desirable especially in the case of the "D" steering, where the steering box is in a higher position relative to the front springs.
