Default RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane

ORIGINAL: eyecare
Just noticed your post on the Robert Nose Gear. My advice to you is to go right to the Sierra unit. the Robert is slightly beter then the origional and we all know that this nose gear was not configured properly. Sierra still needs to be treated gently on landings (slightly nose high) Be carefull on power landings where the nose wheel touches down slightly sooner then the mains. I have seen the firewall pulled out by this action.
Maybe it's a reason for the spring on the original strut? Both the Robart (arrived yesterday) and the Sierra strut are "solid" all the way without any form of suspension to take the load of the firewall. If the new struts make the complete firewall come off, I'm wondering if I should use the stock strut....?
