That's probably because all the other airplanes on the
field have Nitrogen filled struts for nose wheel dampers, while your Aircoupe
has a hydraulic type shock absorber for a nose wheel strut. Two different
animals.

I get about 1/8th of an inch of movement. In addition to being able to feel the movement , I can see the felt grease seal flexing with the movement.Nothing is evident when I operate the airplane ( no shimmy, etc), but the guy who operates the tow-bar tractor at my airport tells me there is more play in my nose wheel than there is on the other planes at the field,which all seem to be tight as a drum when he tows them around. Thanks to all of you.JACK N5466F============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
