Both my Model A 's with that 7 tooth steering box. I'm thinking of upgrading to a gemmer with 2 tooth. I've put on a short pitman rod and whilst the steering is lower geared and easier the slop is greater. I purchased a 35 steering box, rhd, thinking I'd have it converted but the engineer said it wouldn't fit in the chassis u frame.
However a helicopter is unstable and one must hold the controls at all times. It has been now 45 years since I flew a helicopter and it didn't have any modern gear like one would find in a modern machine.
