This is a complete replacement nose gear assembly that was designed to directly replace the factory gear on a single or two place Challenger ultra light aircraft with no modification to the airframe what so ever. It is made from precision machined 4130 chromemoly steel using aircraft AN hardware and TIG and MIG welded together.

Are you tired of bending forks, tubing and breaking rivets that are impossible to get to? Then this is your answer. This is not some cheesy valve spring tossed into a nose gear and called a suspension. This design was inspired by high performance racing shocks and certified aircraft nose gears. It has a full two inches travel that is 1" above the normal height extended and 1" below when compressed. It uses a gas spring to support the weight of the aircraft and absorb shock loads and rebound damping to let you take some of the bumpiest runways without jarring your fillings and rivets loose.

At present, every Challenger in my local EAA chapter is using this design and are absolutely delighted with its performance. Stop continuously buying forks, tubes, gussets and rivets and be prepared to taxi faster and smoother than you ever thought.

I love it... yes a great improvement over the conventional Challenger nose gear. IL

I received the nose assembly and installed it today. Piece of cake to install! TN

Bill, the gear works great. I couldn't see any room for improvement, you've got it down pat. AL
