?

I need to replace the nose gear fork on an X-Air Standard.? It appears to me that I have to remove the windshield first and then the dashboard to get to the bolts that hold the fork in place.? Anyone had experience that knows whether or not my assessment is correct?? Anyone know of an easier approach??? Thanks.



 

Thanks guys. At least now I know it is possible. At 69 years of age I was pretty sure I was not nimble enough to get to it. Looks like I need to take Michael's suggestion and find a nimble teenager.

Ive done mine . I removed the pod to replace a bit of frame and replaced the nose leg bushes while I was at it.? Like my aircraft , I am old, short, ?fat and slow but still managed to get under the dash, mainly lying unsidedown with legs in the air.?

Its straight forward to do but very uncomfortable. My maximum indurance inverted is 10 minutes after which I need a break.

Other than the position the aircraft is easy to work on, it all comes apart like Mecano .?

Regards

Jon

I need to replace the nose gear fork on an X-Air
Standard.? It appears
to me that I have to remove the windshield first and then

to the bolts that hold the fork in place.? Anyone had
