J-3 Cub Nose Block
Key Extension
I received a note from Mike Midkiff this morning telling me that I should extend the 1/8" thick key on the back of the nose block another 1/4" around the perimeter to help hold the nose block in place. The picture below show the 1/4" extension that I added this afternoon at Mike's recommendation.
This picture shows the 1/4" extension in its
entirety.
Bob Beecroft raised the issue of also supporting
the prop shaft from the rear of the nose block. This may be a good idea, but
I can see that it will add additional friction to the prop shaft. Do you
think it is needed Mike?............................Tandy
