KR> Source for Nose Gear

I had been looking at the Nose wheel assembly from NVAero but they appear to be gone now. Does anyone know of a source for the nose gear assembly or a good alternative nose gear setup? -- Brad Payne bradleyspa...@gmail.com ___ Search the KRnet Archives

Yeah, NVaero took their ball and went home. :( Check out the nose gear on the RV6A and RV10. I bet you could make one of those work. Otherwise I would look at some 4130 tubing and build your own. > On August 2, 2020 at 8:48 AM Brad Payne via KRnet > wrote: > > > I had been looking at th

Brad, I think the RV-12 series nose gear would be a closer match for KR-size aircraft. The RV-10 has a 6 cylinder engine. I use a RV-12 spinner on N133RM. John Bouyea N133RM KR-2S - imported, fixed & flying www.bouyea.net/cur_proj/N133RM OR81/ Hillsboro, OR >>Yeah, NVaero took their ball and went

Netters I’m hopeful that someone has a KR specific condition inspection checklist that they can send me. I had one, I think came from Rob Schmitt but I can’t find it. I’m meeting with the local FSDO people for my repairman’s certificate this week and would like to show them a checklist. Any help

The nose gear strut, that I obtained from NV Aero, broke about half inch beyond the firewall attachment bracket on November 6, 2019. This strut was made of 4130 steel and bent to get the two angles for nose wheel attachment and tracking. I think the strut was made by Diehl Aeronautical, but no

I do believe that this would solve your nose gear problem quite nicely :) https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/matcoT6.php?clickkey=108330 Allie Palmer > On Aug 2, 2020, at 12:44, John Bouyea via KRnet wrote: > > Brad, I think the RV-12 series nose gear would be a closer match for

It just happens that I am rebuilding a wrecked RV-6 that was converted to a RV-6A (Nosegear) after it was wrecked. I have converted it back to a RV-6 (Taildragger), so have the complete landing gear off from a RV-6A with only a couple of landings on them (for all practical purposes in New Con

I got lucky, after my Diehl nosegear strut collapsed, NVaero was still around, and the strut Steve supplied turned out to be slightly thicker and definitely heat treated, of course it was un-drilled but that was an easy job. but the original (20 years old?) just bent/collapsed at slow taxi, j
