Message-ID: <20000121.184908.15462.1.Earl_Schroeder@juno.com> From: Earl E Schroeder X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> Hi everyone (especially two place builder/flyers) As you have probably noticed, Ed Sikora is selling a 'new' nose gear for a 2-place (235). Since I still have the old two do-nut type and I have not flown the aircraft yet (probably will this Spring), I'm trying to decide whether to buy his and convert to the 'strut' type. I was curious if you have the old or new type and if you had the opportunity to fly with the old version first. If so, what are your thoughts? I'm not concerned about the looks and satisfied with what I have and I hesitate to take on another 'modification' before flying. It's taken me over ten years to get to this point and I'm anxious to fly. I remember a post in the past saying someone still is using the old one but I forgot who it was.... I plan to do a search for that post when I have more time. Any comments will be appreciated.
