| Subject: | Forced Landing Nose Leg |
G'day All,
Bit of an update ...Bob Bohemier kindly set me up
with a replacement nose leg ...which he got off to me in record short
time ..thx Bob .. The leg arrived today and looks fine but mite be one
inch longer perhaps ... The original one is a bit mangled so doesn't
measure very easily ..
Have pulled the engine out and found some more damage .. The bottom
Nose Leg mount has pushed back into the Fire Wall surface causing some
damage there ...
And if i grab one wing-tip and tug it fore and aft ...i get some free
movement .. !!! ...lifting the wing-tip straight up and down the wing
seems good and solid though .. The other wing is ok and solid both ways
..
The forced landing was light ..and onto rough soft soil ... The Nose leg
broke and folded back on contact ..and the broken leg only left a scrape
mark in the ground 30 yrds long ... where we came to a halt ..!!
Would be very surprised if i have Spar damage but..... ??
Engine is out ...but not pulled down ...so far can see one broken Valve
head .. (and holed piston) and a possible dislodged Valve seat ..
Will know more as i progress along ..
Any input appreciated
Graham

If the wing moves a little for and aft it might be because the rear spar bo
lt/bushing took a hit
Remove the lower fairing and check whilw someone moves the wing back and fo
rth.
I dought you have a problen with the main spar but I would remove the wing
from the airplaner anyway to give it a good look.
