 Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 2:17 pm Post subject: Front Nose Skid Tube |
 |
|
I have noticed that several Kolbs have a front skid tube installed. I think this is a good idea and am wondering how it is made and how its attached to the cage. Is it a solid piece of steel rod, tubing or what?

Here's an address that tells about the one I used....
It attached on tubes that went across the frame....
I only used it til I got the "feel" of how easy or not it
wanted to nose over.... it's off now.

Thanks for the pics. That's a little more of a bumper than I want. I will probably come up with one considerably smaller.

The skid on my MK III is bolted to the frame. I think its steel tubing since it has flanges welded to it to bolt to the cage.
I will keep it on my plane just in case I have to land in a plowed field.

I posted some pictures of my front nose skid / tie down / pull handle in March of 07. Check on the BSS Forum under "nose bracket".
