Hangar Flying / Nose gear tolerances..

« on: June 11, 2005, 04:40:38 PM »

I am not a flyer yet so please take what I say apropriatly.
I found that there was quite a bit of play even with new bushings.
I heard that putting longer flanged bushings that went the entire way through the casting helped. when I did this I still was not happy with
the little play left.
My soulution was to buy a tapered bering ng6 from jack whilamson.
very easy to instal and no play.
I have not flown yet but this like it will keep this from being a reocuring problem
Good luck

Thanks Dan

I hope tha did not seem like to dumb of a question. I looked in both sets of plans last night and could not find it. I of coarse found it this morning after you said it was in the engine install plans.
I am going to stick wiith screws also.It seems simple and one of the
best ways not to have fasteners going through the prop
