KR> Nose wheel forks

Hello builders, we are working on having half a dozen nose gears made. No idea about the cost but it will be very reasonable. They have to be bent, welded and heat treated. Can we get a show of hands as to how many are interested in getting one? We are also discussing making individual main gea

Like you, I have my experience with cars. I would like to know how negative the caster angle was on the plane. Yes, unlike in cars where the caster angle is positive, and the more positive it is, the better stability, and wheel return. But its harder to turn the wheel. In the nose wheel of a

I have been told you can use 'rate sensitive' or 'damper' grease in the pivot and it will remove this shimmy. This same grease is used in the volume controls in higher end stereos. Check out these links: http://www.nyelubricants.com/pdf/dgm.pdf http://www.kanto-kasei.co.jp/e/products/floil/other.s

In the late fifties some Ercoupes would experience a shudder during take off or landing (I don't remember which) and the quick cure was to reduce the nose wheel tire pressure about five pounds which set the pressure to about 20 psi. I don't think that they ever shuddered like the one in th
