How did the Sidewinder work with the weight of the Ovation?  Any issues with slippage on the nose wheel?

Works fine with the considerable weight on an Acclaim.  I would, however, recommend the version that uses a locking lever arm over the old style “push down” version.  Both are available new.  I chose the old style because I didn’t want to change my hubcap and wish I’d gone the other way.  But it’s not a big deal either way.

This is in Florida.  Up north, no bueno.  Snow, slush, or ice on the nose tire really reduce the roller:tire friction.

What exactly did you want to lock down that needed a hubcap change?  I was looking at them online and don't see any reference for an option of a locking or non locking arm.

Interesting, it looks like he doesn’t offer them that way for Mooney anymore. It’s worth a call to redline. The ones that lock over center work better in my experience. I moved to D42 quite a bit with one.
