OK, now guys, Hold on just a second, Think about the real issue here. The weight of a corvair on the front is not substatially different than any other power package. Remember weight and balance. If this is properly done, the (if any ) additional weight is distributed to all the wheels. A skilled pilot (or questionable skill) can hit the ground as hard as he likes on any given tire in any weather conditions he chooses. The failure of any given componet has a lot more to do with that. Joe Horton
Steve wrote: I had a few different calls regarding the nose gear strut yesterday. The biggest question I am getting is regarding the strength of the strut for heavier engines. Both Mark Jones and Joe Horton have the strut on their KR's with the Corvair engine. Jones has added an additional gusset. I think Joe's is stock. With all the heavier engines being used right now we are looking into a couple modifications to support the additional weigh of these engines. I spoke with Dan Diehl for awhile yesterday regarding the changes that are needed. To alleviate the concerns voiced to us we may have something that will meet the needs of both the VW and Corvair guy's soon.
