the Ho229 was made using an He 177 tail wheel assembly as its nosewheel, and its main gear were modified Bf 109 gear legs.

I've seen that reference to the Greif tailwheel many times, and I have always wondered, is it really true? Is that actually an He 177 tailwheel? The Bf 109 main gear I don't doubt, but the scale of that nosegear on the Ho 9 is amazing. Can anybody confirm that it is indeed a He 177 tailwheel? What a monster that airplane must have been, if so...
