Steve I looked at the gear photos on your website and they are just as I
remember them. The long taper towards the mounting bracket for nose wheel and
the straight side that goes from bottom to top. I see a taper on the end that
is the up or top end of the gear. The top cut looks perpendicular t
I would have some concerns about the torque moment of a rearward offset on the
bolts going through the unidirectional glass gear legs. The Cessna 120/140
gear legs were steel. I don't know how the unidirectional scotchply legs will
stand up to that, but I would have some concern about them spl

If the tri-gear leg has two tapers, that begs the question: which
taper
It is readily apparent as one side of the taper fits the contour of the
mounting bracket perfectly.

All I know is that when my friend ordered the new trigear set from Diehl we
were sent the one side taper one side straight set. I assumed they were all
like that.
If I had a choice who wouldn't want the double taper! LOL

Larry,
Thanks for the input on the Cessna 120 gear legs.
I have done weight and balance on my KR-2 (and on Larry Flesner's also).
Getting very familiar with the Excel spread sheet. My personal measurements
on my KR-2 and using the W & B spread sheet clearly indicates the main
wheels need to be
The TD version still has the straight leading edge and rear taper. Tri gear is
tapered on both sides.

Mark,
Your statement below reminds me of my old Cessna 120. The Cessna 120 could
nose over if the right situation arose probably mostly from applying too much
braking by the pilot. Several 120s I have seen over the years had a horizontal
steel bracket bolted to the normal axle bolt holes. This

Sid,
Is your gear the standard Diehl tri-gear setup? I'm wondering why
other tri-gear builders aren't having the same problem. Are you

Sid I don't know what gear you have, but if its the two piece gear, could
you put a spacer between the gear base and spar?
