<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Gray,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"> Good ideas. Some thoughts:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Yes, splitting them isn't so much the problem.
Two-piece gear is plenty strong but there does need to be a reasonable
amount of surface area there. Some of the Bolly gear gives you very little
to work with.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Some designs still need the swept gear so
that may complicate things.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The twisting is annoying. If there is a way
to reduce that while still providing some flex to absorb the shock of landing
then that would be great.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">While we're on the subject of landing gear
- what is the best mounting bolt pattern? I've seen quite a few different
arrangements.What works and what doesn't?</font>

What did you think about the ES gear twist? 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. </font><font size=3><br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
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?</font><font size=3><br>

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. <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>

Anyone have any luck with the Graph Tech RC stuff? Only experience
was with some smaller electrics that worked just fine. They have carbon
pants and spinners, as well.<br>

Thanks, Jim. 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…</font><font size=3>

I just received conformation that BOLLY has gone out of business. 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. </font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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…</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
