The drawing below is not accurate but is as I remember the leg from 14 years ago. The short angled edge goes on the bracket and the leg extends either forward or rearward from the spar. One side of the leg is straight for the entire length. I added a 1 inch foam block to the lead and trail edge for shaping and ran the brake line through the hollowed out foam on the lead edge.
In one of Tony Bingalis' books he says the main wheel on a tail dragger should extend forward of the C.G. and an angle of 15 to 25 degrees. I can only assume that would hold true for the nose wheel gear if the leg is reversible.
