[NSRCA-discussion] Carbon Fiber Landing Gear

[Woodward, Jim (US SSA)]

Thanks Aeroslave - Matt K. made an impeccable set of gear and pants that
my friend Juan still uses.  Maybe he can share with you how he did the
layups and such.

Thanks,
Jim

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Carbon Fiber Landing Gear

Dear Pattern Dudes

Some time ago I had sent an email asking what was the level of interest
about AeroSlave designing and fabricating for sale a new carbon fiber
landing gear. We got a decent response. In light of the fact that it
appears all the sources of supply have exited the business, and the fact
that crappy-hard landings by more than a few flyers will continue,
helping to boost the market, AeroSlave will investigate designing and
fabrication a "Pattern" landing gear-meaning designed for a 5Kg max
plane. Lance and I have some ideas based on what we have seen from other
suppliers and we will begin with these ideas. Personally I thought the
ES gear were very good.

What I can tell you is that the gear will be:

-American made
-Aerospace Prepreg/ Autoclave fabricated
-Will carry a normal use warranty
-As light as we can make it, with structural integrity

This may take 6 months so buy what you can now.

Comments on likes and dislikes on pattern gear would be appreciated as
we tackle the design phase.
