REFLECTOR:Nose gear leg

[KeithHallsten]

Scott,

Do you mean it broke through the weld along the top of the gusset and the
bottom of the bolt tube?  It seems unlikely that it would shear through the
bolt tube itself, and it would certainly not break above the bolt tube,
since the stress there would be essentially nil.

My kit arrived in November '99, and I don't have the gussets.  From your
experience it is unclear whether there is any real advantage in getting the
gusseted nose gear leg!
