      One of the shocks on the nose wheel of our 1977 Cheetah is leaking at the seal and our mechanic is suggesting that it be replaced. Not available from FletchAir without a second mortage so we are searching for a used one. A previous Tiger owner has told me that those shocks can be removed and the airplane flown without them. Is this correct advise? Safe? Legal?

      Pat,

      They must be on the plane, that is the legal side. They do not have to function as the 75 and 76 years did not have them at all. I have used ones.

      FYI
