Subject: REFLECTOR: Nose gear tube boot

 

A year ago, or so, there was a discussion on the Reflector about a couple
people that had made boots that fit over the nose gear tube and fastens to
the canard bulkhead and underlying areas.  The purpose was to provide a seal
against air intrusions from the nose area of RGs.  This is a chronic air
infiltration area with cold air passing up through the nose gear tube
opening and into the keel, where it likes to come into the cabin in the top
of the keel where it is difficult to seal because the elevator actuating rod
passing through that area.

 

I searched through my archives but didn't find the postings in the area
where I would normally squirrel them away.  Anybody try this trick or know
anyone that did...successfully?
