Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 06:44:20 PDT X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> Just about to start on my 235 nose gear tunnel have several questions: 1) Noted a difference in the location for the upper nose gear door actuator attach phenolic insert in two places in the manual: Fig 176 on page 181 shows the insert to be butted up against the firewall but Fig 150 on page 156 shows the insert to be located approximately 5.5 inches aft of the firewall. I suspect the location on page 181 is correct can anyone confirm? 2) It appears if the location of the GM27 weldment pivot point is moved up by about 0.25" the oleo gear strut could be raised to a location that would allow the tire to completely tuck into the wheel well eliminating the need for a 'bump' on the nose gear door. Has anyone done this or are the constraints of the length of the overcenter link and needed angle of strut the controlling factor in the placement of the GM27 pivot? 3) How have others constructed the nose gear door with the 'Bump'. (have you just shaped Al plate with a phenolic hammer and sandbag)? Thanks you in advance. -Ed Sikora LC235 (maybe 290) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
