Regards Nigel Charles ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:50:30 AM PST US From: Graham Singleton Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re. mono gear collapse David My conclusions are the same. The snap effect on the overcentre is dependant on the amount of overcentre, IOW if there is no overcentre there will be no tendency for it to flick undercentre when the load comes off the gear, the more the O'centre the more the tendancy to flick under. I think the strut reinforcement is almost essential too, it reduces the flexibility of the locking mechanism.

Too busy with some more important things, so far. We have here in Finland one flying DC3 with 2xdouble Prat&Whitney star engines and its operator=B4s responsible engineer promised me to make my Junior Wasps singing one day. If you like DC3=B4s just click http://www.dc-ry.fi/front.htm Last summer we all 5 had a rare chance to fly in it. Our common friend - Beautiful Helena - was there also. Let=B4s meet in http://wings.pudasjarvi.fi/ next summer. By the way Russians have made boats boosted by huge star engines for military purposes .. They are very cheap today...

I can confirm; it was a great pleasure and felt safe and easy also. What a way to do it w/o wings. No damages - I will make it again. Just for happiness.
