Install NG-15 and Ken Miller's Anti-Shimmy system

[Cozylover]

Hi CANARDIENS,

 

In June, I have posted, how my nosegear got damaged on my

European COZY 3. Please see the post (June 24th): "Blocked Oil Breather

caused engine failure at 200ft", for more info on that.

 

 

Anyway, I'm getting ready now, to install a new:

 

* Brock NG-15

* Brock Nose gear Fork

* Ken Millers Slick Nose gear tire

* Ken Miller's Anti-Shimmy system

 

 

 

As the non-builder, I can surely use all advise from you guys....

 

So few questions:

 

 

1/ When installing the NG-15, I believe the parts need to be floxed to

the strut and then bolted together. Can anybody describe more in detail

what the exact procedure is?

 

 

2/ On first sight the nose gear strut, does not seem to be damaged, by

the slide after the nose gear fork broke. This part seems to be very

strong. If damaged where would the strut normally fail ?

 

 

3/ Any specific tips on Ken Millers installation of the Anti-Shimmy

system ? Remember, I have the older (but as a new part) Brock LEZ fork

and NG-15 on my COZY3, and will convert the system to the Belleville

washer system sold by Ken Miller. I understand that a press is needed

to remove the old mast and then install Ken's one.

 

 

4/ All other thoughts and extra info more than welcome....

 

 

 

Safe flying,

If you got a little extra money you might want to use a

NG6A roller bearing nose gear pivot to help prevent shimmy.

I installed such one on my SQ2000 canard.
