All you rotary guys with a RVxA nose dragger
airplanes can add a retractable nose gear very easily
if you are using Shertz beam motor mount. Here is how.
The S beam provides a very strong place to pivot
the nose gear. This is very similar to the way the Questair
Venture does it. The engine is a large mass that will accept the nose
gear loads directly. The Bonanza is also similar.
