I’m reading about “Anti-Splat” on other RV models with nose wheel. Apparently the nose strut can bend/buckle on some models if not treated with reasonable care. I know the original RV-12 nose fork has a SB for cracks but does anyone know of nose strut weakness? I think perhaps Van’s anticipated some heavy handedness with low-time pilots and made the nose strut beefier on the 12.
