Heya Vavavoom_03,

The turning radius of any aircraft is controlled in the Aircraft.cfg file in a section called [contact_points].

The steerable gear is going to be on the first line (labeled point.0) under the 7th column (7 numbers to the right).  The number listed under the 7th column is the max degree of turn.  This means that the higher the number is, the better the aircraft will turn.  Most heavy airliners will have a number of about 30-40 while the lighter aircraft will have a number between 60-90.
