Does anyone know what the Diehl main gear setup weighs? I currently have a trike. The main gear is about 3/4 in Al. and am looking to save as much weight as I can. The nose gear is from a BD4, kinda a nice set up..has about 4 inches of travel as a shock.
My thought is that if I got rid of the nose gear, the 2x2 AL mounting brackets, the Al mains... and used Diehl's gear, I could drop a bunch of weight and fly a bit faster ( when I am finished) Does anyone have any idea as to how much weight I could save if I went to the fiberglass mains and converted to a tailwheel? Or the fill net affect? -=Jeff=-
