taildragger to trike
but just making the point that the bolt is mainly to align the under carriage when not in use and that friction should greatly exceed any capacity of the bolt when the airplane's weight is on the wheels. oh yeah? how did you work that out? ever seen one flexing under load? I haven't watched, but yes they do. And I still think that should provide a jamming effect. As to what, if anything should be used as an assembly coating, to prevent rust, I really don't know. OTOH, a similar system is used on a number of certified aircraft and mechinics possess a wealth of knowledge. This is really the sort of thing that should be discussed over a case of beer. Peter |
