Hey folks,

I finally managed to break the Robart nose gear off at the pin this weekend. I was using the rubber grommet but the pin gave way. The nose gear door hinges also parted way during the slide on the grass at the end of my landing.

What are you folks doing for extra axle pins? Do you buy them directly from Robarts? From Tower Hobbies? Make your own?

Have any of you had to replace the spring hinges in the nose door? Did you drill out the existing ones or start over next to them? Also, where can I buy the hinges? They come as part of the gear door assembly but that's $42.00. Surely I can buy these spring hinges separately.

Thanks for your help!

Norman / Krproton, it looks like you had a solution for the broken spring hinges on the nose gear door around posts 596 and 597 on page 24. Did this end up your final solution? Thx!
