With the weight on the nose gear, I can turn the nose gear left and right, with the weight off and the wheel centered, it doesn't move. So far so good. However, when I turn the wheel, either to the left or right, then push the tail down to relieve the weight off the nose gear, the gear DOES NOT self-center and stays cocked, motionless. Any ideas? Thanks. Rick Argente PS The gear is now stiffer than before, rotation wise... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
