My neighbor was watching and noted that it was very fast and the wheel departed quickly. I was lucky in that the engine mount held. The strut did bend back but kept the prop above the runway. I now need a new front strut and fork. The fork broke where the wheel pant screws were. Wheel pant is damaged to, but probably can be salvaged with significant glass repair. Any one out there with a spare strut, fork, or wheel pant? I think the fork will be the biggest problem as it is for the smaller 582 wheel. I believe that I can make a new strut locally from the drawing that Greg supplied, but the fork will be a problem. I may be able to have one machined out of a 7075 T6 billet.
