| Subject: | Re: Main gear shudder revisited |
I am using the Matco axle on the nose wheel and cut the rubber seal on the bearings
back as suggested on the Matco web site. The axle allows better pressure
on the taper bearings and cutting the seal back allows the wheel to turn freer.
I still get a very slight shudder sometimes but it is much better than before
the mods.
Check out Antisplataero.com; they do a mod on the nose wheel to convert to ball
bearings and seem to have good results with other "A" models. The ball bearings
let the wheel spin freely and seems to take the side load off the gear leg.
If I have some down time in the future I may try their mod. Blue Skys Barry

Bad for them, but maybe good for aviation. Sounds like a bunch of billionaires
trying to make more billions at the expense of aviation's primary navigation system.
It seems like every week that I was getting a NOTAM from the FAA advising
me that the GPS may (will be) be unreliable due to lightsquare testing in an
area of Nevada. Apparently the bandwidth of the lightsquare license is too close
to the GPS signal to maintain integrity within its own band.
