[NSRCA-discussion] BOLLY out of business

[Anthony Romano]

Hi Gray,
 Surprisingly the twist was never really a problem on all the grass fields I fly from. Perhaps since I am using the glow length gear. I would imagine reduce that would be good. 
 Not all planes can handle a one piece gear and at the widths we are currently dealing with the weight is significant. 
 
John, 
 3 bolts two parallel to the fuse sides nearest the fuse side. One centered between on the inboard or inline with the forward most bolt.
For E power I have played with the same pattern but only using the forward most bolt near the fuse side.
 
Anthony

That is the wheel going toe in- toe out hitting small bumps. ES had nothing but zero degree fibers. That is the one design issue I am conteplating at the moment. Also considering that all new planes are widebody that is what needs to be addressed..BUT having a 1 continuous gear will be more weight. I am thinking it is better to split the gear for a weight savings.  If we make two pieces, and either piece can be a left or a right, then a broken gear is only on one side. Any advantage to that?Gray FowlerSenior Principal Chemical EngineerRadomes and Specialty AperturesTechnical Staff Composites EngineeringRaytheon

Graph Tech is not for us. I am sure their stuff is well suited for the IMAC style planes that they are designed for but too heavy and way too stiff for our use. I went through their website and picked a gear based on dimension of the ES. 2+ ounces heavier and twice as thick with zero flex. Broke the gear out of my Black Magic many times when hitting small holes in the runway. Rick donated his ES gear and life has been much better. Anthony

Only experience was with some smaller electrics that worked just fine. They have carbon pants and spinners, as well.

Those are $112.00 I think… about double that of the Bolly…. Not sure how that will go….. but if there are no other choices…     Tony Stillman, President Radio South, Inc. 139 Altama Connector, Box 322 Brunswick, GA  31525 1-800-962-7802 www.radiosouthrc.com

Unfortunately, this is a major supplier of CF landing gear and wheel pants.  I have been awaiting a shipment of several items, and now it does not look like that will happen.  I am working now to determine if there are any gear/wheel pants available.     The really bad thing is that I am not sure what options we have left, other than going with a kit/arf manufacturer’s gear.  Ed Skorpa dropped his gear last year…       Tony Stillman, President Radio South, Inc. 139 Altama Connector, Box 322 Brunswick, GA  31525 1-800-962-7802 www.radiosouthrc.com
