 Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 4:42 am Post subject: Nose Gear Castering Springs |
 |
|
While landing the nose wheel to the ground with appropriate crosswind rudder input, I have noticed some nasty kickback through the pedals.
Has anyone added springs to the rudder pedal nose gear linkage to help with centering the wheel when landing in crosswind conditions ? If so what kind of spring pressure, length or spring rate was used ? I have seen pictures that utilized spherical rod bearings attached to the pedals, cushioned with springs on either side where the strut rods pass through. It looks like a nice improvement, but I do not know what springs were used. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated by me and many others.
Thanks, Don.

Check my site. I don't remember how strong the springs are.

Hi Larry, your springs do not look very heavy. If you were to guess the pounds required to compress these springs, what would they be ? Thank You Larry. Hopefully more will respond to share their ideas.
Thanks, Don
