Jonathan,
My measurements are from the aft edge of the joggle. I can see where there
could
be 1/2" or more difference between tri-gear installations. Very small
differences
in gear angles can easily produce that at the axle. The important thing
is that both main gear should have the same distance measurement.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

Thanks for such a quick response, Rick. I look forward to receiving that data
from
you.
If anyone else can supply with their figures by Monday evening UK time, that
would
also be really helpful to get an idea of the average distances.
It's interesting that my nose wheel and main wheel figures differ from yours
Rick
by about half and inch i.e. the approximate width of the joggle.
I'm going to check again tomorrow anyway, because today I did a somewhat "rough
and ready" trial. I dangled my plumb bob from the rear corner of the joggle
where
the lower cowling rear edge ends.
I wonder whether anyone, like Europa in Yorkshire, has ever collated these
measurements
for general reference.
