Hey AL: It sounds like you have the wrong spring installed in your Ercoupe's nose strut. When you say "install a new front fork wheel assembly," is it single fork or dual fork, and what size is the wheel? How much strut shows when the aircraft is sitting static with the 71 inch tail height? You should have 2 3/4 to 3 inches of strut showing. if you have more or less, you need to take the nose strut off and determine what you have. The correct spring length is approximately 6 3/4 inches.

This is what I have: The sill is one full bubble off level and the tail is 71 and a half inches high. This is what I have done: Had my AP, IA, install a new front fork wheel assembly. Service the main landing gears. Installed all new rubber disks (pucks) on the main gears. Install the 7/16" spacers that I purchased from skyport. What do I do now? Add a second 7/16" spacer? Replace the 7/16" spacer with a 14/16" spacer? Something that I have no clue of? Al Flora N94748 (HYR) **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
