floats main gear high over center
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:30 pm
Is there a measure of how much over center the main gear should be when
fully down? I had one collapse yesterday in the hangar and increased it
about 3/16" on the threads of the stop bolt and it seems to work but
there must be a design parameter here which I don't have. This is after
a bit of re-work on the float in question. New bolts, mount brackets.
