Since I had fiberglass legs arready but did not have brackets, I went ahead and made mine out of 1/4" steel. I followed the basic design of Deihl. After welding them I put a couple lightening holes in them. I believe they weigh a little less than a pound each finished. They are strong. The aluminum ones may weigh close to the same since they are thicker. They have NOT been flight tested yet but seem a little overbuilt for the plane. Just what I want. I can sent you photos if you want. Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: <skp...@charter.net> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 6:14 PM Subject: KR>Diehl gear
