Looking for some advice from the RV Brain Trust.
Just started the condition check on my 8a and noticed a strange rubbing noise when moving the plane around the hangar.
After opening everything up and looking for the source I found the nose gear leg is making the sound. Visually checked the entire engine mount over for cracks, nothing obvious. When I move the aircraft on its yaw axis the noise is coming from the bottom of the nose leg tube on the engine mount. The bolt on top is torqued to specs (with no weight on the nose tire when checked). Nothing is lose.
I tried attaching a video file, but the forum does not accept mp4 files and none of the conversions I tried worked. I did attach a picture of the area I am talking about.
Any ideas?
Thank you
