Mark, Being new to the group,( only have Plans and have not started), Is this the only weak point on the gear, or is it possible to beef up the upper bend also? Is there anything saying that be beefing up the lower end won't put more stress on the top on grass strip landings? Thanks, Dick Hasbro

Nick, I am new at this group, but up until selling my project a week ago, was building a Ragwing Stork. Acceptable method on that aircraft, and FAA acceptable is to create a angled scarf Joint 15 x the thickness of the material you are joining. In this case if I remember right, 15x.5/8" = 9.375. Y
