Hi all-
Quick question about adjusting the nosegear breakout force. Building a 9A. I am assuming that one must drill hole in the nosegear axle for the cotter pin that goes thru the nosegear axle bolt. Similar to what is done on the mains-correct? If that is the case, what happens if you have to adjust the axle bolt just a a small amount and the openings in the nut no longer line up with the holes in the axle? I have read that many have to change the position of this nut once they start flying and continue to re-adjust the breakout force from time to time. Does everyone get away with one hole in the axle and if so do you make the hole across (parallel to the wings), front to back (parallel with the fuselage) or does it matter?
Thanks everyone.
