Subject: | Removing rubber like film from windscreen |
For those of you who had the rubber like clear protection on your windscreen is
there a secret to getting it off besides hours of peeling or attempting to scrape
with finger nails? My hands are starting to rebel and threatening to choke
me if I don't find a better way.
PS: Finally, after all this time and two failed attempts all the main parts have
been painted.

*1 - Do you have any recommendations regarding tightening torque on the
nut, force of pull on tail of wheel pant, or any other numerical measuring
criteria for setting the friction level?*
I use a cheap fish weighing scale ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/
DIAL-SCALE/36563210 ) and attach it to the rear of the nose wheel fork to
measure how much force of pull is needed to move the wheel. I very lightly
grease the inside of the fork with Aeroshell 33 (
https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/aeroshellgrease.php )
grease. Be very careful you do not get any grease on the washers, between
the aluminum shoe and the washers or the aluminum shoe and the top of the
nose gear tube. This WILL cause severe nose gear shimmy when you land,
trust me on this one. I have also used Aeroshell 5 grease with no problem
Rich told me to adjust the friction so it takes 27lbs of pull before
the fork starts to move. He told me that the minimum is 20lbs, but no
more than 35lbs. Do the pull with the cotter pin installed on the bottom
castle nut but don't bend it yet. After you are satisfied you have between
20 - 35lbs, then bend the cotter pin to set the final value. This is a
critical value, especially the 20lb minimum. This method has worked well
for me. Rich also gave me a copy of the Castoring Nose Wheel Supplement (I
added some of my notes to the file) and I separately made up a Nose Wheel
Assembly Detail supplement. I have attached them both in case you don't
have copies.
*2 - Did you protect the bottom of the aluminum shoe with a nylon or metal
washer to keep the Belleville washers from wearing away the aluminum?*
Rich never mentioned anything like this, I did not even think about doing
this but in hindsight it sounds like a good idea. The top of the fork is
also rubbing on the steel nose gear tube so it will also be wearing. I just
wonder how this would affect the nose wheel tension value. This is a good
question to ask the forum and see what others have done.
I hope this info helps.

I have found using Goo Gone on the windows to remove stubborn substances works
and doesn't harm the plexiglass. Wipe with clean microfiber cloths to avoid scratches.
It works"believe me"as Trump would say.

Goo Gone is excellent for removing adhesive. Leave the Goo Gone on the
material for at least 2hrs (I left it on overnight) so it
completely penetrates and dissolves the adhesive. After that it just slides
right off with no effort.

Put 2 or 3 more coats of Spraylat on so that it is thick enough to peal off.
Works good!
Use duct tape, make sure you start it where there is no coating so it can
have an edge to start the pealing.

Just like with your reference, I don't believe! I prefer facts and data.
Gone is not really safe for acrylic. Even if you don't see the effects right
away it will haze the acrylic over time.

We use a little toluene available in a hardware store paint department. Suggested
by a long time A&P on the field. I would then go over the area with a quality
acrylic cleaner.

Subject: | Front Axle Modification Part 1 |
I have modified my front axle as illustrated by the attached photo's.
The e-mail is sent in 3 parts with 2 photo's per e-mail as I was not
sure how many attachments I could send.
The first photo shows the modified axle, I welded the Spacer provided
with the kit to the 3/4 inch dia. axle and welded a tab to the spacer.
The tab will be bolted to the right fork to prevent the axle turning on
the bolt that goes through the axle. I cut a thick slice from the other
spacer to center the wheel on the axle.
The other side of the axle is threaded to take a nut that will tension
the bearing, I bought a 3/4 inch die to cut the thread.
Photo 2 shows the nut and locating barrel. I could not get a castellated
3/4 inch nut locally so filed notches into a standard nut to make my
own. An advantage of this technique is that I now have 12 adjustments
instead of the 6 that a normal castellated nut would provide.
From a section of thick walled 3/4 inch ID tube I made a barrel with a
pin that would lock into the grooves on the nut.
Continued in next e-mail

Part 2 of front axle modification.
Photo 3 shows a tab silver soldered to the barrel that locks the
castellated nut. This tab will be bolted to the left front fork and
prevent the castellated nut from moving.
Photo 4 shows the test fit of the nut and locking barrel on the wheel
assembled on the axle.

Hello
I have sent out an e-mail in 3 parts detailing my front axle
modification but have received a message back that it could not be
delivered
yet they arrived in my inbox.
Please let me know if the e-mails went through
Thanks
