Hi Guys,

Hope you all had a good Christmas. I just got back from Santiago , Chile. Had to work but it certainly could have been worse ! Here's what I ended up doing with my nose gear. I didn't see any way to shorten my strut so I installed a 1/4" ply plate that was glued to the back of the original former. This plate just allows the gear to be firewall mounted higher up. The airplane has the correct ground attitude now. Notice that in this picture , I also have servo mounts glued to the back of the aft former. The accesory plate is held on with the servo mounting screws. A little double duty !
