Shot of the nose gear. I really wonder how solid this will be, but only have to worry about it for maybe one year, then amphibs will probably be on!

Hi Maxim, how is that fork "tube" attached to the gear leg? Hard to see in the photo... I take it that is custom made?

If your interested in the actual fork and leg from Zen they can be ordered.  They have a catalog and prices in it at this page...

What do you say about this,

Comment by Maxim Cherkevich on August 24, 2014 at 3:08pm

Marc, look at my page photo of the front nose gear,black plane.

Comment by Mark Maltais on August 20, 2014 at 8:10pm

Hi Maxim.  The nose gear fork was changed to a solid single design with edition two I think.  It came with my kit. :)

Comment by Maxim Cherkevich on August 20, 2014 at 3:20pm

.......or only kit 750?

Comment by Maxim Cherkevich on August 20, 2014 at 3:17pm

Hi Marc, tell me please where can I get the same as you've got the front aluminum nose gear?

I think it is structurally much stronger. The easy test would be to compress vertically to the point of failure and compare the force required to what was required to deform the old style nose fork. I'm pretty sure Zenith has done that testing.
