[rebel-builders] wheel camber with die spring gear
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:12 pm
Hi Garry !
Ours is the same - with about 1/2" of spring compression
showing. Probably nothing to worry about - we've been flying
like that for 7 years..... Only thing is the tires wear in 2 stripes
on inside & outside - guess it's from takeoff wear, and landings,
because they hang down more ! :-)
They spread even more when fully loaded ! No problem
on takeoff or landing.
Guess if it was a real problem, you could shorten the
tube a bit .... Wayne ???

I have fairly significant negative camber with full fuel (but nothing
else in the aircraft) using Wayne's die spring gear. As I understand it,
this should be a small positive camber (ie top of wheel should lean away
from aircraft) under this condition. Can anyone tell me what the
anticipated results on landing would be for this 'defect' in alignment?
What is the easiest way to fix that defect?
