| Subject: | Nose wheel pant removal question |
How are most people removing the nose wheel pants? By removing the 2 Allen head
bolts and keeping the brackets on the pants, or removing the 8 screws and leaving
the brackets on the nose wheel? I've seen people do both...

Hey Michael,
Since I've had lots of practice here lately, this is what I've done. I
remove the 2 Allen head bolts and keep the brackets on. But with
modifications. I've put the stainless Helicoil threads in the aluminum
forks so that the Allen bolts don't strip them out, replaced the original
Allen bolts with ones 1/2 inch longer and use spacers so that the head
extends beyond the pants so that the tow bars don't damage the pants. And
I've replaced the two small washers on each side of the axel with a
flattened out lock washer (it's a tiny bit thicker than the two thin
washers) topped with a larger outer diameter washer. This makes sliding the
brackets on the axel MUCH easier with the better clearance and the larger
washer on top keeps the bracket from sliding off when first aligning the
brackets.
I've been renting out the Helicoil kit for $5 plus shipping to anyone
interested that doesn't want to buy the whole kit (it's pricey) for just
those two threads.
Later, - Lew

Much easier to remove the 2 allen head bolts and leave the brackets
attached to the pants. I've done it both ways.

| Subject: | Main gear weldment too small |
Anyone seen a main gear socket smaller than the end of the gear legs?
Fortunately not mine, but a fellow builder on the field. I measure his
sockets at 0.02 smaller than the end of his gear legs. His gear legs
measure the same as mine, but my gear sockets opening is about 0.03
bigger than his. Haven't come up with any ideas other than a brake
cylinder hone to enlarge the opening. It is on an old Manila QB
fuselage. Mine is new facility QB fuselage.

Hey Kelly,
We didn't measure it, but it was definitely too tight a fit. Had to clean
all the preservative off the legs and lightly sand them to get them to fit.
And then it was a struggle. A brake cylinder hone should work as well.
