NOSE GEAR
Refer to Figure 39. Refer to paragraph 1.7.
The nose gear strut is attached to the engine mount (1) with two guide brackets (2). A circular
spring (3) provides suspension. The steel strut attaches to a conventional U-shaped fork (4)
supporting an axle bolt (5). The front wheel (6) is not fitted with a braking mechanism. Steering
motion is transmitted from the rudder pedal control horns through two adjustable pushrods attached
to the nose gear strut by means of two control horns. Ease of steering movement (both on the
ground and in the air) is ensured through the use of three needle roller bearings on the weight
bearing surfaces of the strut.
A wheel fairing (7) rounds off the nose gear assembly.
