|
|
Hello all,
I replace my main wheel, old tire by Air trac 800x6, now the diameter of the wheel is bigger and it is necessary to replace the OR2 outrigger leg because the gap between ground and outrigger wheels is too big.
What is the normal gap between the ground and the outrigger wheel? I don't read this information on the builder manual.
See the drawing included
Thanks

Michel,
The "normal" gap is mostly a matter of personal preference I think. I
had the length of the outriggers set so both outriggers just touch
with the aircraft fully loaded. I just replaced my Air trac 700x6 (320
hrs,some checking in the sidewall) with the same new tire and it sits
a wee bit higher now. I also replaced the tailwheel.
I'm not sure that there is a factory specification for the example
drawing you attached?
This will change as your rubber shock block gets older, too, as well
as tire pressure.

Thanks Kevin,
Yes i integrate all of these parameters, when I see many pictures of monowheels, some have 4 inches gap some others outriggers legs are compressed to the ground.
The average I think is between 1 to 2 inches gap at fully load.

Good evening
