| Subject: | Re: Bent Nose Wheel Axle |
Betcha this will stir the pot some, In my never ending quest to shave #'s
from my 701 under construction I've discovered that the nose wheel fork from
a Cessna 150 will slip right on the 701 nose gear tube. Of course you have
to cut off the plate the Zenith fork bolts to.
Pros:
Complete assy , modified tube, fork, tire,wheel, axel is ALMOST 5# lighter
than the plans built pieces.
Cost (to me anyway) was half , got my stuff from Air Salvage of Dallas.
Smaller tire means less drag and more importantly less forward mass, easier
to balance a slightly heavier engine if you've refused to use a Rotax.
PROBABLY less adverse yaw too but that is a WAG at this point.
GOTTA be stronger than the bent up plates, if Cessna uses it on an airplane
several hundred pounds heavier than the 701 it outta work for us.
Cons:
You lose the "cool" factor of the tundra tire in the front. Fortunately I'm
old enough to have gotten over all that foolishness. I've several hundred
hours of beach, dirt road, cow pasture ect operation in an RV3 with 5:00x 5
tires and for me to have one on the nose of a 701 which takes off 15-20 mph
slower than the RV is a non-issue. If the plane is within CG you can taxi
around with the nose wheel in the air anyway, that's assuming you practice
as much as Grant Rappe did.
I haven't measured EXACTLY but I don't think I'll have to remake the tube,
even if I have to fab a new one a little longer, saving 5# is MONUMENTAL,
especially on the front end. A no brainer for me.
There may be other hick-ups I haven't found yet.

Excuse me for jumping in here then running to Oshkosh, every once in
awhile this topic comes up. The Older 960 gross 701 was designed for
lighter loads and used the smaller Azula wheels, just before the 1100
gross design change most people were installing 912's or heavier engines
and some people had issues with hard landings.
With today's 1100 gross designed STOL 701 and the Tundra tire I believe we
have one of the toughest and best designed systems out there in it's
weight class. The nose gear is designed to absord a tremendus amount of
energy before being deformed or causing damage to the firewall.
In Kitchener, we have used the STOL 701 for flight training for the past
12 years and yes students have really put the plane throgh it's pace. Over
that time the plane has been dropped from the air on several occasions, on
two seperate occasions it was pounded hrd enogh to actuall bend the main
landing gear, (Almost a 15-20 foot full stall above the runway). We
re-bent the main gear on one occasion adn replaced it on another. I have
watched teh 701 get wheelbarrowed down teh runway many a time and teh nose
gear holds up just fine. Rough feid landings are a pounder to any
aircraft's landing gear and we tend to land more on grass strips than
pavement, we hold the weight of the nose off teh ground to smooh out the
ride down the strip.

Hi John, this site needs a little pot stirring.
I like your idea as I have been thinking of ways to improve the nose gear
for some time. The current design works well as it has been used for a long
time, but could use some help. Somewhere in the net I have seen a 701 with what
looked like a pair of front forks and wheel from a dirt bike. Crazy I know
but, if strong enough, this would provide an adjustable spring rate and hydraulic
dampening. I have seen pictures here on this site where a small coil over
shock was installed inside the top of the nose gear strut on an 801, I have not
read how well it worked though but others are trying.
I will admit that I am a relative amateur with flying the 701 but, I have
walked on this earth long enough to know some things need improvement based
on the problems encountered by me and others.
The 701 is a rugged plane as is and with care can be improved.
Don

Good luck with the 701708 nose wheel axle. The nose gear may be "designed
to absorb a tremendous amount of energy" but that will not prevent
substantial damage if the front tire locks on the fork due to a bent axle
read (hollow tube with nuts welded to both ends). A close inspection of
this Zenith part during pre-flight can not be over emphasised.
