I weighed the tail down, pulled off the strut and inserted the doubler plate. I ended up using the same 2 spacers with the doubler as I didn=99t like the slight resistance I felt with only 1 spacer. I rarely do landings without holding the front up as long as possible, only a few rough runways, although lots of rough taxiways, including turf.

There was play in link assembly when weight is removed from nosewheel Misc: Front wheel was found cracked at 2nd Condition Inspection (336 hours), replaced with WHLNW511.25. Link assembly not removed for inspection. Original main tires and brakes. Rough field Operations: At least 172 Takeoffs and 172 Landings on 8NC8 Avg Est Takeoff weight = 2450lbs 110.4" aft of datum Avg Est Landing weight = 2330lbs 110.5" aft of datum Notes: No rough landings and no nosewheel-first strikes. 90%+ taxi operations on 8NC8 performed with stick full back On landings while balanced on mains, bumps would cause nose wheel to fall slowly and make ground contact once or twice during rollout before settling to ground with full back stick. Occasionally on takeoffs, the nose wheel would strike a bump while being lifted off. Photos: (I'll try to attach one picture to this post but not sure it will display) Here is a link to photos in my Kitlog site: Cracks in Elastomer Plate On 9/12/2014 5:06 PM, Bill Watson wrote: I just did the SB inspection and my plate is cracked. I just called in an order for the cracked kit. I was hoping for the best but expected the worse since I base on a 'rough' grass strip. How rough? One of my neighbors completed an RV7 and refused to base it here due to the roughness preferring to keep it at an airport 20mins away (he has since moved). Details to follow.
