According to the Vans directions on measuring the up and down angles:
25-30 deg. up travel and 20-25 deg down travel.
My question: with the desire to keep the nose wheel off the runway on both take-off and landing, should the up travel be maxed out to 30 deg until stop?
My experience flying in other Vans nose wheel planes, the pilots keep the stick max aft after touch down in order to keep the nose up as long as possible. Im wondering if the extra 5 deg will make a difference.
Can the up stop (3/4" angle) be shaven or filed to allow 30 deg?
