[NSRCA-discussion] Help with my Quest 2 landing gear!

[John Konneker]

I have a Quest 2 I am flying to get back in to pattern after being gone 
since the '80s.
After it's 56th flight today I noticed the landing gear has begun to show 
cracks.
A bad one at one of the gear/fuse mounting holes and some "spiderwebbing" 
where the gear makes it's bend from the fuse bottom to turn down to form the 
gear leg.
I can order another from Ultra RC (I hope) but I'm afraid I will be in the 
same shape after another 56 flights.
The dimensions are:
width at fuse    -      4"  approx 100mm
width axle hole to axle hole - 13 3/4" or approx 350mm
height from axle to fuse  8 1/4" or approx 210mm (this is what the height 
would be if a plumb was droped from the fuse bottom to the ground...not the 
length of the gear leg)
Rearward sweep of the gear is approx 2" or 50mm.
Can anyone suggest a carbon replacement (the original is fiberglass).
I've checked a couple of the obvious sources like Central and Bolly but no 
luck.
Does anyone know of a gear available from Goldberg, Great Planes, etc?
Thanks for wading thru this mess!
