Please refer to my post #394. Can anyone confirm that the Caproni main gear could steer?

First of all I suggest you start a new topic, thereby hopefully attracting members with at least some technical skill, which I unfortunately lack.

However reading what it says regarding the Swedish version, the Ca 313, which was a very close relative to the Ca 314, I would say no.

The Ca 313 used a pneumatic braking system which automatically functioned on the ground when steering. If you gave "right rudder" the right wheel locked more than the left one and vice versa. The more rudder the more it locked.

I doubt very much that Caproni should have done anything else on the Ca 314.

Cheers
Stig
