<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have found the Bolly gear to be very durable and

flexing to absorb shock and stress and it rooks marverous.

<DIV>As far as designing a new gear. I would be extremely happy with a
ES gear or the exact copy. For my needs they were PERFECT. Anything else
would be a compromise. Maybe to make it worth the time and effort. They
could take pre orders. prepaid. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That way instead of having to produce x amount and hoping
they would sell. this way the x amount would already be sold. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as a hundered dollars goes. I've paid 70 dollars each for
the last two sets. A hundred dollars would really hurt me. But then
again when i first started flying RC i couldn't figure out why anyone
would pay more than five dollars for landing gear. Now i spend more than
five dollars for a gloplug. </DIV>

<DIV id=yiv861225425><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I am combining
all the responses about CF landing gear. Getting into designing and
fabricating something as simple as landing gear will require several
thousand dollars, and a lot of time to refine the design. Several
people mentioned a gera of lighter weight. The weight of the ES gear
is just about the lower limit if not the limit. I have not examined
some of the other gear that are reported to be 4 oz heavier, so I do
not know why they are heavier. Some of the real light weight gear I
saw (very good weight) were always broken ...people asked me to help
repair. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>It appears a $100
gear would be a hit with the pattern crowd. As Earl stated there
already is a $150 gear so that bounds the cost. I will investigate to
see if this is possible and worth the time, money. </FONT>
