try to upload them again, I see one picture only.

What prop is that???

and now the new wide-gear .

My pc is a lowrider ... slow and hard to ride.

The propeller is an helix from www.helix-propeller.de

The prop is carbon. Quiet and very light.

In germany ultralightplanes must have lower noise < 60 db(A).

behind the avid it´s our "hangar".

Have some user information about moule-tailwheels?

Put a Matco tailwheel on. Much better.

What kind of nose gear is that? Can you post more photos of it showing how it is mounted, or tell me more about it? Is it spring-loaded?

I am making my own nose gear. I wanted to buy a used one - but too late now.

Where in Germany are you? I flew out of Crailsheim for 2 years in 1960 to 1962. (halfway between Neurenberg and Stuttgart). Beautiful country and nice people.

Interesting trailer too.

Hello Ed,

it is an nose-gear from custom flightsystem:

The nose-gear is spring-loeded. I have two nose-gear forks without springs and one who is spring-loaded.

I´m from herzogenaurach near nürnberg. There was an airbase till 1992 "herzobase" (from 1945-1972 USASA).

And there are the factories adidas and puma.

We change the nose-gear to tailwheel - the optic is much better. And now we must try to land this plane

Danke,

Think if you are not a tailwheel pilot - you should land with nose wheel - much besser.
