Tri-Gear Conversion

After being blown off the runway on takeoff and into a ground loop at 40 kts, it has been decided to convert the aircraft from Monowheel to Tri-gear. This album documents this conversion and repair work. The album is not comprehensive as I often was up to my elbows in epoxy, fiberglas, Araldite and other nasty things when I would have wanted a picture or two. Still, you should be able to get an idea of what was involved. Work has almost been completed. The aircraft is flying again. Remaining work is to make interference fairings for the landing gear leg fairings to the wheel pants and body. I'll put the wheel pants on tomorrow and see how it goes. Without any go-fast fairings it does 110 KTS at 5000 RPM, 28 in MP & 3.6 gph.

	IMG_1578ann 2011 03 11 Installation of the parking brake valve completed and the brake lines attached. Hard to believe that took all day... Date: 03/11/2011 Views: 3372
	IMG_1587ann 2011 03 13 Looking to see how all the brake lines will fit. Date: 03/15/2011 Views: 3639
	IMG_1589ann I need to get two brake lines and a reservoir line in there and attached somehow. Date: 03/15/2011 Views: 4531
	IMG_1590ann Had to adjust the opening for the brake handles to allow for full and free travel. Date: 03/15/2011 Views: 5340
	IMG_1591ann Starting to think about mounting brackets for the wheel pants. Date: 03/15/2011 Views: 3728
	IMG_1222ann 2011 03 18 Received my Poly-Flow brake line. It's more flexible than the other stuff. It can be routed to suit. All the brake system needs is the new reservoir and it can be filled/bled. Date: 03/18/2011 Views: 3946
