Default RE: Nose gear Flexing

You just moved the pushrod out to the end this evening within the last couple of hours and you say it is still flexing. I don,t understand how you can possibly know that, its dark outside, are you flying in the dark?

Just grabing it and bending it will tell you nothing, only flight tests at normal takeoff and landing speeds can possibly offer any answers.

Taxing around, and yes it was dark but there are street lights around here and a big parking lot. I first noticed it when taxing around anyways. If it does it taxing then it is going to do it on take off and landing. Oh well.....

Hope this answers you question .


RCken I did once try and turn the plane at a high speed and noticed that so I stopped trying to turn the plane like that. The Gear is brand spanking new so it can not be worn.
