| Subject: | Monowheel landing gear damage |
A locally owned monowheel (not mine!) has suffered a hard landing. The 2
pivot pins attaching the LG08's to the shock absorber top plate LG05 have
been badly bent. Is there any way of getting these bent pins out without a
complete undercarriage strip down?
What other damage is the engineer/inspector likely to find?
The engine has to come out of this airframe, anyway, to change its sprag
clutch - it is a "classic" engine installation.
Any tips gratefully received. Presumably, if the LG08's are detached, the
landing gear can no longer be locked down, and the swinging arm will have to
be held down with weights if the shockcord is to remain untouched? I ask
these questions because this is the first landing gear damage that the
engineer - Adrian Lloyd - has worked on.

tell Adrian to take the shock cord out anyway, it probably needs
adjusting. Too dangerous and awkard with it in place. Then strip the
gear down.
He might find the bottom tube of the LG01 is bent or cracked which will
mean replacing that too.

I have ended up with a pair of Vacuum gauges surplus to requirements.
Same as Rotax supply.
Email me off forum if interested in taking them off my hands for a small
consideration.

Does anyone have a pair of OR2 nylon outrigger legs for a mono that I can
obtain? I have changed to a larger main wheel and to smaller outrigger
wheels and the legs are too short.
Thanks

I replaced my outrigger legs from Aircraft spruce. They have the nylon
in various diameters and will cut to any length needed.

Hi,
I got my nylon66 rod from http://www.mcmaster.com/ I seem to recall that it
was quite inexpensive.
