*JB Weld

Ahh. Makes since. I noticed the nose wheel had some type of glue, similar to JBL, to static balance. What is that stuff? Seems like that works really well.

? I’m listening to everybody. lol. I have a bushing that needs to be replaced and a seal kit for the shimmy dampner because it is leaking. That gets my plane home so I can take the tires and have them dynamically balanced which I also believe is a good idea and makes since.

Thanks for the reply. I found that the shimmy dampner seals are leaking and one of the torque link bushings needs replacing. My guess is the shimmy dampner was doing its job but working over time and the seals gave out. Ordered the torque kit and seal kit. Should be in the air again within...

Thank you.

Thank you. I’ll start looking for a motorcycle shop that will do it.

Thank you for this. Just wish every shop had one. Seems like it would be necessary equipment.

I have read some of your post. Not looking to crank down on anything. I just want to make sure nothing is loose and check that nothing is worn out. I’ve been in touch with an IA that has worked on these for years and he has given me some things to check. I just don’t want to miss anything...

Yeah it is hard to do with the TR182. You’re basically looking at the sky when you touchdown.

Had a bad day Saturday. Came in to land and had a slight crosswind so I came in a little faster than normal. As soon as the nose wheel touched the ground it shook so bad that I had no rudder pedal control and it took me left off the runway. Luckily there was no damage. Tomorrow I will be...

Thanks for the help and encouragement.

Yep. And the requirements for my CFI for IFR was a little insulting and I’m not sure he will do it. They want him to have 8 hours in a 182RG with 2 hours IFR. He flys every day and has over 12,000 hours tons of IFR with tons of complex and high performance and plenty of 172RG and 182 time...

I’m getting excited. Just hoping the prebuy goes well. Thanks for the input.

Anybody have or know a CFI with 500 TT, 100 retract time and 50 182RG time? Preferably, in North East Texas, but I’m willing to travel. I’m buying a 182RG and need to meet a 10 hour insurance requirement. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a CFI preferably in the North East Texas area but I’m willing to travel. CFI needs 500 TT, 100 retract and 50 in a 182RG to meet insurance requirements. I have my ppl and and I’m buying a plane. I need 10 hours. All my time is in 172’s and I’m trying to move up in the world. Thanks
