| Subject: | another Twinstar MK II landing gear question |
Hey all,
I have the MK II together and flying, still having landing gear problems.
It seems almost impossible to keep the wheels straight on my rough runway.
It is ok with 1 person but I put some weight in the second seat and it is
all over the runway.
Check the wheel alignment and it is out again. Original alignment was done
with the plane loaded with weight in both seats.
Is there a stronger gear that can be used or additional bracing to keep
things from coming out of alignment.
Maybe fiberglass landing gear like used on the CGS Hawk or also adding a
cable between the wheels to limit outward flex.
Any other ideas ?
thanks for any responses,
Lee
Twinstar MK II, CGS Hawk classic,
Vector and Goldwing.

I took an old spark plug. took out the ceramic and got a 1/4 inch
pipe tap and threaded the inside of the plug, then installed my air
hose adapter that fit the compression tester. to get the ceramic out,
I think I ground off the metal that was crimped over the ceramic. the
hole was a bit large for a 1/4 inch tap to get a good set of threads,,
but there was enough to make things hold. you can use silicone on both
threads before assemble then let it dry,,, or a lot of teflon tape.
if you cant find a tap,,, you could drill to fit and solder the adapter
in.

Hi Boyd'
I used a 12mm x 1.25 thread pitch bolt , drilled a hole lengthwise , then brazed
an air conector
to the top of the bolt, works great in the little 12mm spark plug hole. Stopped
at that
point and played a round of golf. Will get to the compression check this
afternoon.
Thanks for your idea--I couldn't figure out how to get the ceramic out of an
old plug.
Frank
