[NSRCA-discussion] Landing gear

[Mike Hester]

Funny you should mention ES and stiffness.

When the ES gear first came out, people compained about them sagging and being too weak. Apparently they fixed that problem....

The later ones are virtually indestructable. I totalled 2 planes this year in unbelievably catastrophic fashion, and guess what? I have 2 sets of ES gear off those planes that arean't even scratched. I don't think you can break these with a nuclear blast.

  Thanks Jerry. Which model of their gear have you used? I tried a pair in my last plane and found them heavy (+5.25oz) and SUPER stiff. So stiff that it did lots of damage to the airframe. If memory serves I tried the 27% Cap gear because it had the height I neeeded. 
   Were is ES when you need them.

      Jerry, 
       Do they have a website or online catalog somewhere? My searches revealed only industrial products.
