face=Verdana size=2>The long straight legs look very good on all the airplanes
I've installed them on--particularly with the pants that were made for them.
I think just a little sweep would look a little better--that's all.
NOT like the sweep on the original straight legged, but swept,
Bollys--but those DO look good on the shorter gear. The amount of sweep
I think I'm envisioning is about the same that it would appear to make the
gear legs perpendicular to horizontal as the airplane sits. I do not
care much for the looks of the longer, curved, Bolly gear. All the
standard pants seem too large and butt ugly. I like them pointier,
slimmer, and more elegant.<BR>RS<BR><BR><BR></FONT>

That is the wheel going toe in- toe out hitting small bumps. ES had nothing

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?<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Gray

suited for the IMAC style planes that they are designed for but too heavy and
way too stiff for our use. <BR>I went through their website and picked a gear
based on dimension of the ES. 2+ ounces heavier and twice as thick with zero

in the runway. Rick donated his ES gear and life has been much better.

are any gear/wheel pants available. </FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2>
