Matt's gear (I'm not) I would prefer a <i>little</i> sweep which would
preclude 'a one side fits both" arrangement. How are most of
you guys mounting them--two or three bolts? I've been using three 4-40s
but just bought one and the former owner had two per side.<br>

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 face="Verdana" size="2"><br>
</font><font face="sans-serif" size="2"><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 face="Verdana" size="2"><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>

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 face="Verdana" size="2"> </font><font face="Arial" size="2"><br>
</font><font face="Verdana" size="2"> </font><font face="Arial" size="2"><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 face="Verdana" size="2"> </font><font face="Arial" size="2"><br>
