OK folks... I need some suggestions for my Avistar Nose Gear.... and Fast!
Due to our flying field (grass/sod field), it was suggested (by an experienced pilot) to change my wheels to 3 1/2" on the main and 4" on the nose.
Here is my problem: the 4" wheel is too wide for my gear.... there is absolutly no room for a wheel collar.
See Pic
I came up with 3 possible solutions:
1. Change the Nose Gear to meet specs -
See Pic for measurements.
2. Get longer axles for the main - put 4" tires on main / 3 1/2" on nose.
3. Go with 3 1/2" tires all around.
I need some opinions fast..... I am supposed to meet the instructor on friday @ 8:00 am!!!
Thanks.
