| Subject: | Re: Nose Gear Fairing |
I'd second that suggestion. My plane gets handled by FBO folks a lot
and the recessed solution really doesn't work. . Stainless socket head
bolts sitting on oversize washers to protect the pant works really
well. The specifics of that solution are in this forum.
I spent 8-9 years traveling with a Maule whose tail wheel meant that I
got to park it and un-park it wherever I went. It kept hangar/handling
rash to a minimum so I thought that's how I'd like my '10 handled. But
I've learned to enjoy the pleasures of good FBO service where you can
pull up front, get help with the bags and be in and out in minutes if
desired (Wilson Air at KCLT is consistently the best at it - plane to
pre-cooled rental car with bags in trunk in under 6mins, smiles all around).

I was reviewing the forums for a Bansbach gas strut and saw a various
responses.
Can those who purchased the Bansbach gas strut tell me the difference
between
A1A1F50-100-287/600N
and
E2A1F50-100-290-600N
and results/ recommendations on either one.
Thanks!
Pascal

Can't tell you the difference but I just purchased and installed the A1A
model. The pair cost $123.05 with shipping.
They replaced the stock Vans units using the same hardware including a
bushing around the AN3 bolt. They snap the doors open and they stay
open where the Vans units worked but were subject to closing
unexpectedly if jostled depending on temperature. These appear to be a
perfect replacement.
My doors may be on the heavy side with the original Vans pins + flush
door handles + key locks + fabric/vinyl headliner and I'm currently
adding Planaround 90degree retrofit latch. Struts seem to handle it
all fine.
