Brief Description: Where's that noise coming from??
For a while now I have been hearing a metal on metal clanging sound coming from the nose gear actuator when lifting up the airplane and letting it fall back down onto the gear. Gently of course. I decided I HAD to investigate. After 2 hours of tightening and re-installing bolts and checking EVERYTHING I found that the noise was coming from play between the main gear tongue and groove assembly. I contacted Jack Wilhelmson and was re-assured that this play was normal and while in flight and on the ground would be put under load and be fine. I am now thoroughly acquainted with this unit so all is not lost :)
