Jerry Pressley Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 anyone have problems with using spring loaded nose gear rods on early J-bar gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy95W Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 @cliffy mentioned this a few years ago. Not sure if he actually went through with it. As a J-bar owner and A&P, I'm wondering why you're asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N201MKTurbo Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 While you may be able to make it work, It isn't correct according to the parts manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffy Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I thought it might make things easier to rig the entire gear system. Haven't done it yet. With hard rods 4 ways its a goat rope sometimes. Change one preload-change them all 4 vs 2 Would have to measure them to make sure they are exactly the same length. It would probably take a Letter of "No Technical Objection" from Mooney to make any sign off legal. I can't just put them in without a legal sign off. Still thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
