Well John sounds like you have it under control.
As I said, it is important to make sure you flare it out to preserve the nose
gear
---From hitting first.
As far as cutting the nosewheel pant when turned 180 degrees with the prop, if
doing a static ground run at full power the nose can compress the nose down
(more
so with the bungee rather than the springs) and perhaps reduce the clearance
between prop and pant.

Thanks to you Bud, for your reply.
I checked the bolts through the nose leg a while ago, and found the bolts to
be damaged and the holes elongated.
I have enlarged the bolt holes reamed them to match some new shoulder
bolts and making sure that there is a very tight fit.
The nylon friction disc seems to be worn even.
Seems like it is possible to make acceptable landings if I just take care.
Turning the nose wheel 180 degree will result in a distance of 80 mm between
the prop tip and the top of the wheel spat.
Not much space for movement if I lover it 50 mm, but on the other hand, if I
turn
the the wheel backwards I may not be in a situation where the plane is
moving up and down.
During start I could imagine, that the plane will try to get into the air,
despite
insufficient air speed. Could that be the situation?
