color:#1F497D'>Gray, the toe in twist issue on the ES gear was definitely an
issue I ran into, at least with the taller electric version. Also, on crosswind
landings if I didn’t straighten it out just right before touching down it would
start doing a sideways hoping action with the forward leg acting like a spring.
I think you may have seen this in Lubbock. This is the only set of gear I’ve
ever experienced this with. More ridged gear don’t seem prone to this behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>As to straight vs. swept, straight may be easier to fabricate as
a first attempt to get something to market and would provide interchangeability.
On the other hand, if you dork one half of your gear you still have to buy a
whole new set and there’s not much you can do with the other half, unless you
have a habit of dorking gear. The swept look is most definitely nicer. I’d go
with what you think will sell the best, based on sex appeal, and will be
structurally sound. I wouldn’t worry about giving the multiple gear dorkers the
ability to use either half on either side. Besides, multiple gear dorkers will
help keep you in business. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:

considering that all new planes are widebody that is what needs to be

is better to split the gear for a weight savings. If we make two pieces,

side. Any advantage to that?<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 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. <br>
