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?
