Slightly modifying suzutuki65’s F-14 to be able to dip its nose when on the catapult like Tomcats did. I’ve used a piston which works fine but the catapult tesrs it off the jet when it launches. I’ve set it to unbreakable but it flexes and breaks off and I wind up passing my own nose wheels as the plane goes off the end of the ship.
Anyone have an idea for a strong nose gear strut that can retract to a shorter length?

No problem! i always like to help people!
@goboygo1 Ok thanks. I’ll have to try a bunch of different spots for the connector because so far it’s just caused the nosewheel to lift off the deck as opposed to lowering the plane. Putting it on the nosegear causes the catapult to rip it off so it’s a catch 22. I’ll keep trying though thanks for the reply.
pistons are pretty unstable as is, so maybe move the catapult connector so its not connected to the part the piston is holding on.
