Subject: | Re: Forced Landing Nose Leg |
Thx Hans ,
His story is a bit similar in that my home
r/way is just 450 mtrs too ...and i often land in 200 mtrs as that is
the taxi way off on one end .. wasn't so terrific wilh a dead engine
though ..as i landed 50 mtrs short ..in the paddock !!
Thx Rick ..rear spar attachments sounds a good shot .. ...(rather than
main spar damage ...) will get to it asap ...i am the third owner and so
am not that clued up on all the construction ...i had my TR1 shipped
over to me here 'Down-under ' three yrs ago .. ..
For Now
Graham

If the wing moves a little for and aft it might be because the
rear spar bolt/bushing took a hit
Remove the lower fairing and check whilw someone moves the wing
back and forth.
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.

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

Hello Graham, I really appreciate your contributions to this group.
You wrote: "...and i often land in 200 mtrs as that is the taxi way off on
one end .. "
Would you please tell us how you are flying the approach and landing
(configuration, air speeds, flaring technique, etc.) to achieve this 200
meters taxi turn off distance?
Thanks,
