The Murphy Builders Site

7-24-10, Bransom your answer was not very helpful. Well, what failed?
Sheered rivets maybe even bolts that hold the drag brace on. I don't have a
clue untill I open up that area. To bad the builder and the plans didn't
think
to put an inspection opening is this vital area. This should be a heads-up
to
new builders that an inspection opening might be a nice thing to consider,
so
that when that hard landing comes or that rough field landing you weren't
expecting just rattled your teeth. you have a way to make sure your gear is
still in good shape before you go airborn again..
I need guidance starting with how to jack up the airplane. As I wrote
there is no outward damage but something is making a lot of "dragging a tin
can" noise, pretty loud too when I taxi. A visable movement of the tire
forward and reverse also as I wrote. Of course I've searched the
entire "list"! Not much help to me to read "how easy it was to repair",
when
what I need is a step by step or even a scanned copy of the drawing of the
landing gear drab bracket area, so I can see what is on the inside. Tks

What are you telling me that for? Maybe you don't understand, that I
didn't
order anyone to cut a hole in the structure. I said to consider an
inspection
port to observe the gear attach points, useful to check how they are
holding
up after a hard or soft landing. Are you sure you are a homebuilder?
Maybe
you don't understand what the homebuilder movement is all about. Stop
trying lead my inquire. On 7/25/2010 6:55 AM, kpierson wrote to caltrac:
