Re: Corked Nose Wheel

Rich Thanks for the test. Your results are the same as my aircraft. As I have said before I designed and built the fin two years ago and it has performed great, especially on the long cross country trips.

Re: Corked Nose Wheel

Nick, I am trying to locate a fairing to laser scan. I thought I had one but not yet. As soon as I can scan the 3d profile I will model the fin on that wheel pant and do CFD check and make up a mold. If I can get a wheel pant I can tooling ready within a week.
Thanks
Bret

In today's world of computerized PFD and MFD avionics they are all using data cards for the ever changing nav data, approach plates etc. The problem with all these data cards is they will fail from time to time. You then have to call aspen or who ever your panel manufacture is and order a new card, ...

Re: Corked Nose Wheel

The wheel pant looks identical to the 2002-2003 pant. Check your rudder trim tab. If it is not parallel with the rudder you have a corked wheel when flying. At the factory they bend the tab to force the rudder left or right to keep the pilot from inputting rudder during cruise flight. When the fin i...

Re: Corked Nose Wheel

I am not sure, but I can send you one out free of charge to check. If it fits we can settle up. If not I can make a new mold for that style of aircraft, as long as I know what needs to be modified.
