<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The Bolly gear may be saving you over an ounce per gear
leg. Using a disc/belt sander a narrowed the mounting tabs and added thin
CA and a 1 ounce cloth band around the end of the newly narrowed tab. The
solution worked for hundreds of flights. Remember to let the model slow
before the 90 degree turn at the end of a landing, virtually no composite gear
can handle the side loads.</FONT></DIV>

gear</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I got my Boley F3A carbon gear in from Maureen this past
week.<BR>These appear to be MUCH lighter than the stock fiberglass gear on my
Focus II.<BR>I'd like to ask folks on the list that have a FocusII AND have
replaced the original gear with the Boley's if they have any suggestions.<BR>I
haven't looked real hard at the install yet but there appears to be two
differences:<BR>1- The Boley's have a lot more rearward "rake".<BR>2- The
mounting are on the Boley's appear to be much wider...I'm curious if the
FocusII gear plate will accept them.<BR>Thanks!<BR>John L. Konneker<BR>
