Hi Phil I added 8 degree wedges on top of the retracts between the spring bar to lift the aircraft and to tilt the mains forward.
I never flew like this as my gear was fixed down by the previous owner and would produce too much drag, I ended up replacing the whole undercarriage. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: phil brookman To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 8:48 PM Subject: KR> kr retract gear mods and angled blocks hi does anyone know what the angle is on those 3 blocks that join the gear to the main spar and what do people think about adding a small plate at the end of the gear to shift the wheels forward and thus place moreweight on that tail the small plate would also give it more ground clearance .i see torsion loads being applied to the bar and brackets but should be ok i think anyone done it. also to get the plane sitting higher has anyone fitted any spacer blocks on top of the retracts between the spring gear phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this outgoing message.
