Has anyone ever made fiberglass mains for the Kr with a similar construction to the Grove gear? What I'm talking about is a bow like structure that would be flat along the bottom, then a curved arc from the fuselage to the wheels. I was thinking of 1/2 inch foam for the inside core, with spruce where the main brackets attach ( to avoid the crush effect), and a taper down to solid aluminum where the wheel axles attach. I was going to use unidirectional fiberglass with a buildup to the point where I would have about 13k lb failure point.
I guess I could just fork out 1000 dollars for the Grove Gear, but I like experimenting. Any thoughts? --------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo! Shopping
