Hi,

Please find attached pics. I think I'll take the route of using Jeff's plate to minimise complications.
Thanks so far.

Pierre,

Mark the thrust line position on this drawing.
Do you have a cowl?
What diameter prop do they recommend?

What is the distance from the thrust line to the ground?

Here is the tail dragger version.
Got any dwgs on the nose gear. Can you scan the planes?
I might be able to work from photos if you take them 90 degrees
from the center line. From the side low down about 20 feet away.
Alao take them from the front from about 20 feet away.
Use a 8 mega pixel camera.

Hi,

Attached is drawings of the nosewheel attachement to the firewall. Hope it
helps. The other drawings are all in full scale so it is a bit difficult to
scan them.
Regards,

Pierre

Do you have FedEx Kinko's or FedEx Office(r) down there?
They can scan large dwg's and convert them to hi rez jpgs.


Weld the socket tube into the oil pan so the nose gear loads are directly
fed into the major mass on the front of the airplane. The engine. The rest of the
airplane goes along for the ride :) What is the OD of the socket tube?
What is the diameter of the spring steel bar? This is a similar idea to the
Questair Venture nose gear.

Rest of plans added.

Pierre

With a slight mod to the nose gear angle an oil pan mount is feasible.
The spring steel rod is not shown. It is still there however. Perhaps
with a different length.

Here is a dwg.
