I have not heard of anyone flying this rig. ( I would love to hear of it working) I tested a pair and found them to be very flexible - springs, right? I did not finish building them, being leary of prop strike. Did Norman build and fly them? 60" is a long gear leg if it's bendy. Let us hear more details... Bob Polgreen

I'm posting the info for builders who need land gear. The leaf spring from 1985 Chevy astro or GMC Safari are fiberglass and make great landing gear. They are light, cheap and available almost anywhere. Each spring is 60" long and tapers to the middle and will male a set of landing gear per spring. So a set of springs is around $60.00 and makes two sets of gear. They mount on the spar like normal Diehl gear and much cheaper. This setup is what i'm doing with my large plastic easter eggs i'm using for wheel pant molds.....David Boyer _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
