hush your mouth Harley Dave

DHPs close siblings (all Collins equipped ex NTAMS N24s) are still happily flying inzud The one I flew in even had the flight director still going strong. The nomad landing gear at least damping wise was one of the best ever designed. Just like lots of oleos with the right spring rate it got the leans (like most piper singles for instance), but you weren't left emulating skippy if you got the approach wrong. The design did put the N22 seat in the wrong place, but I think that can be traced back to the sloping frame and the military ejection requirement. roll on the rebirth
