[NSRCA-discussion] Focus II Landing Gear crack

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Hi Bob,

I agree.  I did that in a Focus I that I still have.  Never had problems after replacing the original gear.  If you want to see pictures I could take some.  Something important,  I didn't cut the Bolly gear.  I installed in one piece.  I forgot how I did it.  I think I cut one side so I could slide the gear in the other side and then glue back the piece of balsa.  Probably others have better ideas.

Good luck,

Bolly makes a nice replacement gear.  Get the swept version, the airplane will stick on landing much better.

Hello all,

The left side of my Focus II landing gear has cracked and I thinking of getting replacement gear.  The Focus gear are in two parts; a left half and a right half. The particular gear I have is a white color; not sure just what it is made of.  I see on the Piedmont web site that there is a black colored gear which might be carbon fiber?   I am wondering if others have noted cracking in their Focus landing gear and what is being done about replacement?  It seems to me a single gear would be better than a two halves gear.  What is the membership experience?

Bob Harden
