Dean,
Do you have a record of what force at the rear endge of the tire is now
required to turn the nose wheel around?

Subject: | Fuel Gauge calibration |
We have been trying for a couple of days to calibrate the fuel guage,
without much luck :-(
When calibrated at full (i.e reading full) when emptied the needle does not
move(reads full when empty)
Same thing happens in reveres, when calibrated to empty, after filling to
brim stil reads empty.
System uses two calibration grub screws in unit!
Can anyone help?

Is it a capacitive sensor? If so if there's any water around it will
read full scale.

Which gauge (and what type of sender) do you have?
If you have a capacitive type sender, I presume that you know that they are
only calibrated for one type of fuel (avgas / Mogas) - we found that ours
showed 3/4 full most of the time when we knew it wasn't. (left it in the
tank but not connected - using the float type from Europa with the
Stratomaster fuel computer - very pleased now).
If you can tell us more detail of your installation, I'm sure someone will
have encountered the problem in the past.

You do not say what gauging system you have. From your description it
sounds like it might be a capacitance type. If so, assuming it is wired
correctly, the fault points towards the probe. Make sure there is no
short between the inner and outer tubes and confirm that no water has
found its way in. As you can adjust the gauge reading through the
calibration screws it is unlikely to be at fault. If this doesn't
identify the problem try borrowing another probe from someone who is
still building.

Subject: | Re: Damping grease for nose gear |
Svein,
It's in the manual, I believe 20 pounds.
I found the best method is by trial and error. For testing, I pulled the
aircraft by the prop in a slalom line, and it should follow easily. Then a
full power taxi run down the runway. If there is shimmy, tighten it a bit
more etc. . I don't use special grease and I don't think the pressure on my
wheel is more than 3 pounds. Makes taxiing in tight circles so much easier.

Sorry, no I don't have the force. Did not measure it.

Hi! Svein/Karl/Dean
Really do recommend you to stick to the correct poundage <(18lb(8kg) to
20lb(9kg) with the wheel clear of the ground> breakout of the castor
yoke and never tempt the shimmy, because when it happens it is dramatic
and is most likely to disintegrate your nose wheel spat.
The new "grease" seemingly is an excellent friction material. However
don't in any way overload the castellated nut either.
Also IMHO I would in future completely remove the yoke, certainly
annually, degrease it and inspect the spindle to yoke fixing. ( it's
only held in by loctite and a 1/4" roll pin.)
To check the breakout force tie a piece of rope to one side of the axle
extend it round the rear of the wheel make a loop on the loose end and
hang a spring balance into the loop to pull the rope until the breakout
force is reached.
Still awaiting the AAIB report on my spindle /yoke coupling failure and
I haven't been the only one to have an incident.
Regards
Bob Harrison. G-PTAG
