 Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 10:44 am Post subject: Tri-Gear Nose Leg |
 |
|
Hi all
Can anybody provide a dimension from the Tri-Gear nose wheel leg please.
I would like to know the measurement from where the nose gear leg bushes mount to the landing gear frame, rearwards to the large cross tube on the gear leg that the bump stop tube and the Mod 71 springs are mounted on.
I am waiting for my Tri-Gear conversion kit from the Europa factory but would like to start sorting out the tunnel area. I intend to put a bulkhead in there and I am trying to decide how far back from the firewall it needs to be to allow sufficient clearance for the nose gear leg. Also to provide some clearance for the springs.
I have the Tech Talk drawing that shows the tunnel bulkhead 12 inches back from the firewall but this looks too far back. The build manual chapter 21T, shows the lower fuselage cutout as 9 inches back from the firewall.
Many thanks.

As you say the cut out size is 9.5inch and the factory recommended position
for the bulkhead is 12inch aft of the firewall.
You could move the firewall forward slightly (say 1.5inch max). Personally
I would leave it were it is. My experience is that it is hard enough to
reach what you want with the standard position so I would not make it any
smaller.

Thanks Ian
I will go with the Tech Talk position of 12 inches. As you say, it will give acceptable access to the Mod 71 springs, etc.
Many thanks.
