Hi All...
We own a '46 Coupe with the Forniar duel nose fork
and tire.
Our NLG has the snubber cable. I recently measured
the difference between having the cable on and having it off. Length of travel
with the cable on was approx 7 inches as compared to approx 11 inches with it
off.
The most significant difference I noted from the
inspection, was with the snubber cable on, the dampening action of the NLG
piston was restricted. to about half of that compared to without having
the cable on.
Without having the snubber cable on, my largest
concern was re-learning the flair height during landing so that I wouldn't
hit the NLG first.
I think we will progressively lengthen the snubber
cable, for training purposes, up to the point where it won't be required. This
way we can restore the full dampening action of the NLG and maintain the look
Fred had designed into the Coupe.
Any Thoughts?
Cheers
