My nose gear was the same set up. I was very concerned when I first fitter it.
But 750 hours without issues with that bolt. I do remove it at annuals for a
check. I have replaced the bearings and tire, I think I even replaced the bolt
without any real reason, but that’s me. The nose Leg was ben

For health reasons, I will be disposing of this project. It is a partially

powered, plane designed to cruise in the 130-134 MPH range. Since I was 6'1"
tall the cockpit was designed to be comfortable for a pilot of this si

Ken,
I have the nose gear and the bolt is not an 1/8" not much bigger though. I am
pretty sure it is an AN-3 about 3 1/2 " long. I have not had to replace mine
from any wear or damage and I have probably used it as hard as most anyone. The
holes should all be for 3/16" drilled thru each side of
All,
Due to some issues I will not be sending my gear off to have it measured
for possible reproduction. Not a problem with me or the people I was
sending it to. Other issues have arisen. Knowing and respecting Mark's
guidelines on posts, that's all I'm saying.
However, upon disassembly of my gear,
Thanks again Larry for your excellent elaboration on the CG sensitivity
issues, especially for small aircraft. So, adding airspeed could
effectively changing the CG position at least momentarily, or it allows the
pilot more control authority over control surfaces
Another way I could think of,

As for weight and balance, it's a simple summation of moments involving
empty aircraft weight and the variable weights of things like
pilot/passenger, fuel, and baggage, such that the the aircraft CG range

Rear CofG. Amen to that. It’s not a nice feeling. I also had the trim cable
fail with two on board. Had to fly and land holding forward stick the entire
time.
Puckering material.

81JM is a joy to fly at forward CG and a miserable thing at aft CG. I
haven't taken up passengers in a very long while for this reason. I once
