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

[Park, Ihncheol]

John,
 
Try the repair that Jim suggested.
If that doesn't help, you may want to check out graph tech. 
They have lots of sizes.  I carry bolly and ES, but none close to your.
Your gear is way too tall with narrower track

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

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!
John L. Konneker
