Very nice...
But what's with the nose wheel on that plane? Looks kinda shabby...

Yeah the nosewheel had some stairstepping, but besides that, it was accurate. In the first picture the scissor and pin are set in the "fly" position. Please don't ask me how I know that.
Not a fan of the Beechjet (or the hawker 400)

What do you mean?
On a Beechjet/Hawker there is a pin and "scissors" that must be detached before towing. When it is connected, the rudder peddles will move the nosewheel. If you look at the nosewheel in that picture, the part that makes a triangle behind the wheel is the scissors. The pin is located at the top of it.

Very nice, Dave. I like flying the BE40 a lot. ESDG did a nice job on it.
Beechjets are another plane that can't be simple to tow, as Duck said above-- its older brother the Hawker 800 has a two-pin system on the nosewheel. If only everything were as easy as a learjet, where the bar gets attatched directly to the center of the nosewheel. Easy, no pins.
