Dave, FWIW, if you are converting to the Diehl fixed gear, I would recommend the Tracy Obrien KR axles and brakes. <http://www.tracyobrien.com/kraxle.html> They are very economically priced axles, brakes, and wheels. If you send Tracy an email at <sa...@tracyobrien.com> and tell him what you are doing, he'll put together a package for you for a price that would be hard to pass up. That would include the angle brackets for the bottom of the gear, axles, brakes, & wheels.
FWIW, I'm not a big fan of newer unproven designs and have poo pooed the Tracy Obrien wheels and brakes for several years. I have to see them in action before I'm a believer. However, one of our local EAAers used the Tracy Obrien axles, wheels, and brakes on his Sonex so he could install hydraulic differential braking. If one wants to run the smaller tires like the Sonex and most KRs have, the Tracy Obrien set up offers a good combination of quality, functionality, and modest price. As for NVAero, Steve works a full time job as well as trying to operate NVAero with himself and a part time employee who also has a full time job elsewhere. The situation makes it such that he is difficult to catch. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ----- Original Message ----- From: dave.a.kr...@gmail.com Sent: 11/08/11 10:39 AM To: KRnet Subject: KR> Anyone know the best time to get a person at NV Aero I can't do the 'leave a message and get called back' thing due to no return number here in AFG. And they don't seem too good at returning e-mails.... I'm trying to get an answer for 'Do the 5/8" axles (shown as a set on the website) come as a set, or individually?' - for $158 I would sincerely hope the answer is 'set' - but I have to know before I order (looking to replace the gear on the plane I bought with Diehl tri-gear - discussions on this list have lead me to believe that the stock RR spring-gear isn't re-usable for this purpose, with the exception of wheels/tires/brakes, ergo 5/8 axles)....
