Hi There
I have noticed that there is a slight bend on my nose gear from a recent trip where I hit debris on the runway. I managed to complete the trip without any problems, just checking the gear condition at every stop.
What I have noticed is the gear is bent back about an inch causing a change in the castoring characteristics as well the wheel now seeming to slope off in one direction when looking at it from the front.
Can the gear be rolled out straight again if done without any heat. Would it be strong enoungh or is it best to just fit a new nose gear.
