Subject: Europa-List: Prop strikes and nose arm springs

| There has been a lot of correspondence of late about springs and the prop
| strike by one member. Is there a connection?
|
| I would not have thought it possible to have a prop strike on a
reasonably
| normal landing with bungees correctly set. If, however, this is
possible,
| will the replacement of bungees with springs help?
Patrick,
I don't think there is any direct connection between prop
strikes and bungees. The bungees assist in raising or lowering the monowheel
gear, but once locked into place the mainwheel gets no effect from the
bungees.
Cheers, Ferg
