Mounting Details
Universal Mounting Design
We have recently changed and simplified the design in order to simplify fabrication and as a result are able to offer our assemblies at lower cost while making them easier for users to add them to a wide range of aircraft.
Universal Mount Details
Our mounts are manufactured to utilize AN5 (5/16-24) bolts with 125,000 psi tensile strength.
Tire size is important
What we need to know to ensure proper fit!
Our standard nosewheel forks fit 4 and 5 inch wheels.
Other sizes available upon request
You may need to add spacers on your 3/8 axle bolt. 3/8" washers work fine
Unlike the standard Challenger, Excalibur and Titan Tornado nosewheels, the Greased Landing nosewheel is serviceable.
Replacement parts are available in the unlikely event you damage it.
In order to ensure your tire will fit inside our nosewheel assembly it is best if we know the width and diameter of your TIRE.
Shown to the right are all 5 inch wheels.....
Can you guess which one wont fit?
Our shock absorbing nose gear weighs under 5 lbs.
BEFORE YOU FLY!
If you have had a hard nosewheel landing, bent your factory or other nosewheel, it is critical that you inspect all of the nosewheel mount and steering components including the rivets ( top and bottom ) that attach the cross tube to the longerons. This should be part of your regular preflight procedure.
