REFLECTOR: Nosegear Forks

[Greg Poole]

I'm curious about the fork issue .....1. were all the ones that broke installed on the XL models or were there just as many problems for the Standard fuselage? and...... 2. was the problem the same for FG as opposed to RG models?

I guess a small fuselage Velocity nosewheel can hit the ground just as hard as a large fuselage under different circumstances. 

When I think of all the landings the "Lanza Special" performed as the factory "Multicolour" trainer- especially with such a large bunch of highly inexperienced Velocity pilots (includ'g me) .....

- not questioning the value of the new forks or my life, just curious again....
