Vance, Here is a nose gear failure in regard to our discussion
of experimental aircraft landing gear strength and G ratings.
Looks like the Tr1 is not the only airplane with nose gear problems :-)

BTW In your next design I think you should attach the nose gear to the
engine instead of the fuselage similar to the QuestAir Venture.

Putting the gear on the motor mount has definite advantages, but becomes more complex if people decide to
do another engine (like a rotary :-) ) Since you are into another mount we could kick it around.

Not on this Kis Cruiser. I need to get this thing flying so I can do some
applied research on the turbo rotary in aircraft use. My ultimate goal
for this airplane. I got a Cessna to fly in the mean time.

BTW got my new prop and I will pick up the governor tomorrow.

Anybody want a real deal on a CS two blade 84 inch dia. MaCauly?

By the way - how come my (and other) entries end up strung acroos the page, even when I put in "hard"
carriage returns ???  Vance

I have no idea. What are you using for an email program?
