Good evening,
Looking for KR2 Grove one piece landing gear for project.
Anyone have one lying around they don't plan to use?
Willing to pay fair price plus shipping.
Feel free to contact me off net.
Thank you,

Can somebody at Sun n fun stop by the grove gear booth and see if they have a

There is a certain amount of camber angle to the gear to compensate for a/c
weight. Does anybody have the camber angle in degrees?
I'm thinking of trying to make some fiberglass maingear and I'd like a starting
point for that angle if anyone can help.
I'll make the gear, post some pics and test
Having just made my own 'glass gear, I can tell you
this... It's a tedious process :-) The camber angle
is based on how much deflection of the gear leg at
what weight, so the answer is "it depends".
My legs are 25.5 inches long (hyp dim) at a 45deg
angle. I ended up with a calculated angle of 2

I was just looking at my new Grove one piece gear and seeing how the wheels

The gear will have to be streamlined and hydraulic lines installed prior to
glassing for reinforcement (
The grove gear can be ordered streamlined and with the hydraulic galleys pre
drilled in the leg. No glassing is required as it is an aluminum gear. The
only glass work that you will need to do is the fairing of it into the
fuselage bottom. I think it is the most simple gear installation available.

I love that gear and installation. Why did you choose the two piece over the

Thanks Bernard. Never knew about gundrilling before so I had a quick
look around the web - amazing equipment, I am pleased that I now know
about it -
The brackets for my Diehl tri-gear are tight against the fuselage of my

Well, it turns out that Rand Robinson no longer sells the one piece spring
bar gear that fits in the existing retract mounting bolt holes. Apparently,
they had to be bought ten at a time, prices have gone way up, and the guy
that used to make them has died. Looks like I am back to getting the Gro

Orma,
I talked to Jeanette at the last gathering. In that conversation
she stated that the gear she offered was made by Grove. Robbie
Grove started offering them for the KR directly a few years later.

I've got the Diehl variety landing gear and it works very well,.With the

most of the work is completed coming out of the box since both side will

I would go with the single piece because it will give you "little to no"
alignment problems. Also, get it "gun drilled".
