Keep in mind the problem with the nose gear was actually the main gear plac ement. The nose gear should have between 10% and 25% of the weight of the a ircraft from the aft CG to forward CG limits. The main gear in the original location would put well over 35% onto the main gear.=C2- The main gear s o far behind the CG would not only put more static load on the nose gear bu t would also put a huge dynamic load when the nose would slam down on landi ng. If you correct the main gear location by canting the gear forward any of th e nose gears are acceptable.=C2- Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sat, Sep 19, 2020 at 10:16 PM, Graham Brighton Hi Jeff, =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- I fly a TR1 ..

If one side is off, I would check the two spar bolts that hold the wing in place. There is a sleeve for both bolts and if the bolts are over tightened they can go into the composite and cause a wing to droop.
