  1. @canamex you might want to add useful load to original post.
  2. Skip, What did you use to create these drawings?
  3. The shipping cart comparison is more odd as the zero axis (axle and contact patch) and steering axis do not intersect.
  4. At no point did any thing I described meet the definition of negative caster with the exception of the shopping cart.
  5. The axel of a bike never is as far as I know. It either aligns with the fork/fork slider or is ahead of it as pictured.
  6. I noticed that it had been registered to the same owner for 18 years, which added to the mystery of the incident.
  7. Perhaps on some bikes, but I don’t think thats the norm. I have restored a few different motorcycles from various eras (Jap and Brit) and all had triple clamps with the fork mounts offset forward of the steering pivot. The axel mount is typically at the center point of the fork. HD springers have less offset at the triple clamp, but the wheel is offset on a swing arm at the bottom of the fork. Many MX bikes have axel mounts offset forward of the fork, which is already offset forward of the triple clamp.
  8. Yes, I think the change happened in 69 or 70. Incidentally, the button lock version on my early F has required little more than lubricant and a new rubber seal every 8-10 years. I expect the cable will be due for replacement in the next 5 years.
  9. LASAR calls for 70+ hours to install the one piece belly on an undamaged plane. Is it fiberglass? Was there a UL penalty?
  10. So what is he disagreement about? I would think that between the IPC (attached) and the damaged parts, it would be pretty straight forward. I have 67F which should be the same. More info would help me capture the details you’re looking for.
  11. Baggage door still intact and was open and in the up position at the crash site. Possible that it went through the crash sequence in that position, but seems more likely that it was opened by first responders.
  12. If you are able to get some info, please report back.
  13. I had not thought about that to be honest. I might give them a call. Looks like Isaac sold his Mooney in 2018. If you look up his N number, you can see his full name, and where the plane was registered during his ownership. Maybe you can track him down and ask.
  14. Much better if you flip them around backwards. They make better tail draggers…
