X4264 X4268 Regarding the steering of the Goshawk, 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.
