Gound loops in taildraggers are primarily caused by the pilot. A nose gear
collapse on a nosedragger is more likely to be a design problem.
Van's must know about the problem. I'd like to know if they have a plan to
resolve it.

I'm not convinced that nose gear collapse is a design problem of Van's. My
understanding is that the possibility of nose gear collapse under extreme
circumstances is an inherent problem of all tricycle gear airplanes, which
is why conventional gear is considered more suitable for bush planes. Van's
did have some concerns with the 6A nose gear which they addressed in an
October '98 service bulletin. Have a look. There must be a lot of messages
in the archives about it. I'm sure what was learned with the 6A problems was
incorporated into the 8A design and manufacturing. I expect they are
exactly the same parts.
