<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IMO, the CF landing to emulate is what Wistmodel
makes. Try to top them for light weight, strength, flexibility and
ability to absorb shock and not tear your airplane apart. They look
great too. Bolly's are nice, but don't hold a candle to what Wistmodel
produces for the Prestige.</FONT></DIV>

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><BR>Anthony<BR><BR><BR></FONT>

<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>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>

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
