My name is Timothy Ong. I'm working on shocks for the 235/320/360 series
of planes.
From discussion and comments, it seems quite clear that field adjustable
shocks are a big plus. The existing prototypes that I have are adjustable internally. They
approximately have 1.4" stroke. If you have less than 6" from eyelet to
eyelet, this amount is subtracted from your total available stroke.
Example: Shock length is 5.875...available stroke is
6-5.875=.125...1.4-.125= 1.275
Now, If I make it field adjustable from 6" to 5.875" then the person with
6" length has the same stroke as the 5.875" length. They both have 1.275"
stroke.
Here is what I need from all of you interested in these shocks. Would you
please measure your center to center dimension of the eyelets on your
shocks so I know what the maximum amount of adjustment required is. Lancair's specification says 6" to 5 7/8", but I wondering if that covers
everybody. Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Timothy Ong
