Hi Folks I was looking in to the landing gear for a Kr2S. The boat is going to be 6" wider then the stock plans. I was looking at the NVaero site and they have the castings for the Deli gear which because they have no picture I am guessing I would still need to make the actual legs. they also do not specify if the castings they sell are priced each or for the pair. I then came across this which is made from Material: 7075-T6 Aluminum KR2 One Piece Landing Gear The airport I have access to for the moment is a grass strip and I was thinking the aluminum may act as a bit of a shock suppressor and may be lighter then the wood/glass that others have used. Would I be ahead to bend something like this in the press brake or go the Deli Gear route?
Also I was thinking of going with MATCO brakes as per NVAERO or am I better off with Cleveland or some other brand. I also noted on Mark Landfords site that he played with wheel sizes. What is the overall consences with respect to tire size? Thanks Stan
