We have a warm front passing though San Antonio. These are the straight
line formations I have seen before. Non pilots barely notice them even when
you point them out.

| Subject: | Split gear question |
Wondering what the purpose is for the 1/4 inch hole for for the left front g
ear. Doesn't seem to be a clearance problem with the lug hinge below. Also 1
/4" as opposed to 3/16. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Pietenpeople, I am fixin to print my starting, runup and emergency
checklists. Also I am going to post two key speeds, maneuvering (turbulence
penetration) speed of 60 mph/52kph and best glide of 55mph/48knots. I plan
on posting the speeds on the cutout.
What checklists do you guys use? Engine out, fire, runup.....? Less is
more. Hot start procedures, flooded start and such can stay in the POH.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

| Subject: | Re: Split gear question |
Jack,
While the detail is not truly clear (seems like almost every other part on this
gear is called a "lug",) my guess is that the special hole for the left front
fitting is there because the 1/4" thick "lug" that is welded to the bracket (and
also welded to the 3/4" round "lug") will end up covering one of the 3/16"
dia holes. The left and right bracket weldments are not really mirror images
of each other. On the right gear, the 1/4" thick lug is mounted at the front end
of the 3/4" round lug, whereas, on the left gear it is mounted at the rear
of the round lug (a difference of 1".) In the attached photo, I've circled the
left bracket, and it sure looks like the rear 3/16" hole would not be accessible.
As for why the hole is 1/4", and not 3/16", it is probably to allow a "beefed-up"
fastener (1/4" dia) to be used, to compensate for the less than ideal, non-symmetric
fastener location. This bolt will be subjected to higher loads than
the locations marked for 3/16" holes.
Curiously, if you look at the drawing, the rear left bracket is drawn with only
one bolt shown. Pretty sure that is simply an accidentally omitted detail -
there should be two bolts shown.
Bill C.
