Why the nylon ball, why not just a nice nylon/teflon block at the contact point amd don't worry too much about the scrape ? jofarr, soddy tn ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Beale What I'm suggesting is a Nylon ball, about 2" in diameter. It would be mounted on the nose of the Cozy in place of the "hockey-puck". Should the gear fail (or, fail to be lowered) the Nylon ball would allow the nose to "roll" rather than "scrape" down the runway until the A/C could be stopped. --Boundary_(ID_lA0a0Gak1qX+AHtodr39Vg) Content-type: text/html; charset=Windows-1252 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
