Hi Stan,
We use the old type landing gear. It is all 7075T6 alluminium. 3 brackets aft of
the fwd spar. I think this one give you more propclearce.
I think the aluminium gear is more weight than the new glass system.
On my website you see 3 KR2s. The PH-OMI and the PH-MIJ uses the old aluminium.

The Diehl gear consists of two cast aluminum spar brackets, two lower

Hi Folks
I was looking in to the landing gear for a Kr2S. The boat is going to be
6" wider then the stock plans.
I was looking at the NVaero site and they have the castings for the Deli
gear which because they have no picture I am guessing I would still need
to make the actual legs. they also do
Concur with Larry Flesner regarding using the Yankee gear legs.
You will need a power bench planer to take the stock thickness down to 3/4
inch. The fiberglass is abrasive and will dull the planer blades somewhat.
A metal cutting band saw will do well for cutting the outline. Getting a

morrow. The Diehl
legs are cut to a taper, which makes them more flexible towards the wheel end
of the gear leg. My 30" legs are quite soft.

I had a mishap involving a broken rudder peddle assembly and partialy developed
ground loop (partially developed because at 90 deg. the gear legs parted the
aircraft and terminated the loop). I have the Yankee legs and I am trying to
determine a spring constant to design my replacement legs.
"28" for a better three point attitude on the ground."
That'd be nice, but the Yankee legs I bought are only 26 3/4" long.

See http://www.n56ml.com/gear/broken_leg.jpg (or attached) for the
structure of the Deihl gear leg. Definitely unidirectional, so a little
something to tie the strands together couldn't hurt.

The Grumman gear is also a lot wider to start with than the Diehl gear which is

Yep. Just mark them out with a Sharpie, cut them on a sawbench and round
the edges with a router. Once you've done that just follow the same steps
as for the 'standard' legs - i.e. wrap them with fibreglass, etc.
The Grumman legs are thicker than the 'standard' legs - by about 1/4" I
think. I'm

Has anyone cut down and used Grumman Yankee surplus landing gear legs for
his/her KR2?
And if you did, how did you do it?

Has anyone made landing gear legs from the fiberglass rear springs that
Pontiac used on vans a while ago?
