KR> Landing Gear Shims - Where to have made

2015-03-23 Thread Jeff Scott
You guys are supposed to be airplane builders with skills to build composite parts. Fabricate a small box with the appropriate slant to it for the shims you need, then lay up a shim with the dimensions you need. If it's not quite right, you can grind, file or cut to suit yourself. Do a test fi

Maybe it has something to do with a new 172 costing over 250K which drives the price of a "used" one up way beyond what a used one cost when they were building without the "luxury options as standard" think leather, full IFR as "standard" etc. -Original Message- From: KRnet [mailto:krne

Dave, Sounds like you have already drilled the holes for the lower ends of the gear legs. If not, clamp in place and drill the holes for the legs and brackets; no shims needed. If so, try Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/aircraft_parts/ap/menus/lg/axlesandaxlenuts_shims

Yeah... Most of it is regulatory overhead & lawsuit/insurance expense... In a world where we had a Canada-style 'Owner Maintained' category & you didn't have to pay $400 for a $75 12v Ford alternator simply because it had been blessed by the FAA... Aviation wouldn't be so god-awful expensive... A

I actually had an idea along these lines, as a solution to this problem... If I were to stack enough washers under the axle-attach bracket to bring the gear into alignment, coat the attach-bolts & bracket with grease as a release-agent, and seal the bottom 3 sides with tape I could then pour

I bought the legs pre-drilled from another KRlister & at least so far, other than the 7-degrees-each-side toe-out/8-degrees-camber-out alignment, they don't seem to be causing trouble with balance on my particular plane... In it's nose-lightest configuration (eg, fuel tank empty), I can get in and

One other price, in 1989 bought a Grumman AA1B with a zero-hours Mattituck engine and a fresh annual for $8500. It needed radios and was maybe a 7/10 cosmetically but it was solid and a great plane. Bought it with a partner and he was an IFR multi guy (went on to fly for the majors) and insisted

You may also check with aircraft salvage yards for shims. I've seen lots of them in years past on factory built airplanes. Mostly on tail drag airplanes. I've seen tiny and large and also large plus tiny on same axle to get the proper alignment. Larry H Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 22, 2015, a
