Tom Baker Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just noticed this thread. I wondered if it is possible to have a tweaked leg as I always have more fuel in left tank. Will need to get one of those 8' Levels Roger mentioned but I actually did measure wingtip to floor and its low on left side. Hmm. The mechanics discovered little minor crunchies under the left upper leg fairig at Annual. Fixed per FD instructions for $400. Perhaps there's more to this. I know original owner had landing troubles now and then. No one suggested bent landing gear though. How DO you put a permanent kink in a composite gear leg? More importantly, how do you Fix it? With the LS if the pads for the gear get out of place it will set a little low. Also I replace a gear leg on one airplane and it sets wing low all the time. I think it is the difference between a new and old gear leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 My CTSW sits about 3/4" lower on the right than the left at the point on the droop wingtip. My hangar has a 0.6° slope to it according to my level, so I'm not sure how much of that is the airplane and how much is the floor. Probably some of each.
