I’m considering the purchase of a kis tr-1 (current owner says it has the heavy duty nose gear). 



2 questions, is there such a thing as heavy duty nose gear for the tr-1?



Also is the plane grass field (relatively smooth) capable?



Thanks

 The TR1 has gone though �quite a few � variations on the nose gear ( at least 3 different types � , plus �some �additional �strengthening �of �the �2nd version �) � , some were good , some less so . �if possible �sent a picture of which �nose gear �is installed ( or provide a � good description of it)

   original �gear ( sprung steel �with no �springs or pivot ) , � 
 
�mk 2 gear : �large spring and pivot �point �with a streamline profile steel �main leg. � 
 
Mk 2 �gear �with additional �stengthening � - as Mk2 but with two steel strenthening bars welded �down the full length �of the main leg 
 
Mk 3 gear � large �spring and pivot point �with �heavy duty �thick wall round tube �for the main leg 

 So the answer is yes they do exist and if you tell me which one I can �explain �what to look for

 

 

 �I operate my TR1 � regularly on both hard and grass runways. Some grass � not smooth at all, �I have had no problems for 17 years with �the Mk 3 nosegear �which is extremely strong �- but a lot heavier .
