Bill,
Uh, that's not quite right. In an average LNC2 the prop tip is 34
inches ahead of the nose wheel and 78 inches ahead of the mains. Using similar
triangles, 0.5/44 = x/78 or 0.88" more clearance at the prop
tip. If your prop tip is only 4" off the ground, that shim raises it to
almost 5", an approximate 25% increase. Any increase in nose strut pressure and
sag at the mains (air-oleo suspension system pressure) has a similar effect
especially when the pilot, passenger and baggage depress the mains
further.

Subject: [LML] LNC2 Nose gear fork
spacer
Does anybody have a CAD drawing for an AL 0.5 inch spacer to
be installed at the bottom of the nose gear fork to increase prop ground
clearance? Or anybody know the distance between centers on the wheel bracket
mounting bolts (4) and the radius of the flange at the rod end of the
fork?
