Anti-spat products:
1. nose job

3. oil wrench
4. gust lock

My heart won on this item. Don't ask me to justify it for a 9 because I can't. I never was at ease with the slotted hole attachment.

Kudos to Anti Splat Aero! They expedited repair and return of the Nose Wheel Mod for my RV9A. What a difference this Modification makes. No more shimmy and vibration! Oh, and excellent customer service!

Default Just installed the Nose Job ...

I don't plan on a lot of grass strip landing ... but I'm going to feel a little better about them now. Nothing is a guarantee against a really bad landing though.
Had a little issue with the hardware that came with the brace.... but a quick note to Allen and new hardware was in the mail.

I'm a fan of the nose job myself - I had a passenger trying to land my 9A on a paved runway and pranged it in hard enough to leave half the nose wheel pant on the runway behind us. The nose job left witness marks in the paint on the nose gear leg, no other damage besides fiberglass.

Just received one for my FF conversion as well and it's a very well designed and built shutter.

I have:
Main wheel bearing conversion- love it no greasing wheel bearings
Nose wheel bearing conversion- same as above plus better axel stack up.
Nose job- might help- hope to never find out
Gust lock- use it every time I park out. Very light and compact and works well.
Air/oil separator for the crankcase vent.- this is my most recent purchase. I have tried other separators with poor results. Have the antisplat now for 10 hrs flying and the belly is completely dry. Yeah!
