My advice on this is that when you test u/c retraction and deployment with
the plane on blocks (annual?) you simulate some back pressure on the
outriggers by pulling back on them with a bungee. I found that mine would latch
quite
happily when the plane was up on blocks, but in the air I didn't get the
reassuring 'clunk' until I slowed down to nearer landing speed. Backwards force
on the outriggers is proportional to square of the airspeed.
Testing on the ground they seemed to be fine, but not if you pulled them
back as the gear went down. Bit of adjustment and now they are fine.

The outriggers on my mono have never failed to latch but I have noticed that
if I lower the
gear/flaps/outriggers at just under flap speed, the outriggers do not
audibly latch in the down
position until approx 70 mph. I'm wondering if the down latch springs are
getting tired after 6 yrs or so?

Hi Nigel,
It would be of high interest for all monowheel operators to know the root
cause of your mishap. As long as the reason is not identified it may happen to
you again! I believe there should be a way to reproduce the unlatched
outrigger problem on the ground and find out what is wrong in your outrigger
mechanism.
Best regards

Nigel,
Have you managed to ascertain why your Outrigger failed to latched.
Await your judgement.
Peter.

Ok Guys and Gals,
Here is the important info. You are all invited to our fun trip.
We will fly Marble Canyon, Grand Canyon, lake Powell, Monument Valley and Bryce
Canyon. This is a fun bunch of people and everybody gets along and is friendly.
We have a special rate at the same place we stayed last year.
Tell them you are with the "CT Group" and the rate is $49 a night. We will arrive
Thursday morning, Oct. 16th. and head home Oct. 19th. Sunday morning.
Best Western Arizona Inn
716 Rim View Dr.
Page, Az.
800-826-2718
928-645-2456
We will fly into the Page airport - KPGA.
We are staying with the Classic FBO and with our group we should get a .30 cent
discount on fuel.
Classic is not the first FBO next to the runway, but the second one behind them.
The Antelope Canyon tour is open if anyone wants. This is a land tour.
I did some checking for those who are interested. We can take a Lake Powell lake
tour by boat..
One is an evening dinner tour. It is 2.5 hours and serves Prime rib or Lasagna.
It cost $87.67 per person.
The other one is a boat tour that last 3 hours and goes through some famous canyons,
the Navajo Tapestry tour. It cost $63.52.
Orrrr we can rent 19" power boats our selves and take them out and explore the
lake and fingers. The cost of the boat is $325 a day (8am-5pm). They hold eight
people and this is only $40 a person.
Any of the boat items they would like a 24 hour notice.
These are only some ideas that I checked on. We don't have to do them and if only
some want to do them that is ok.
You guys are welcome to invite other planes that are not CT's and everyone is welcome.
Find some more LSA's.

Regarding micro switches, it should only close when the outrigger is
'down and locked' and not simply when it is 'down'. I haven't seen
any discussion of the best location for the microswitch, but my belief
is that it should be on the OR7B step, with the switch tab facing OR5
arm. I have not installed it yet, but attached is a couple of diagrams
of what I am planning to do. Please let me know your thoughts.
