<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yeah Gray take a good look at the pictures. At
first you'll think: "Oh that can't possibly be strong enough". But it doesn't
have to be strong in the way you think. The forces are handled correctly. It
doesn't need to be "beefy". Think about how much stronger the SIDE of the
fuselage is vs. a flat plate that's about 2.5" wide attached to 2 gear legs that
are about a foot long. Think leverage. The Prestige gear "system" works in a
different way.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’ll send you some
high resolution pics offline of how the Vivat/Prestige gear is made. It
is thin, narrow, and quite flexible in the vertical axis, but very stiff
torsionally (yes, it has biased CF cloth). No toe in. No sweep.
Slight arc (think Sukhoi). Very nice shiny finish out of the mold
– looks like clear coated carbon fiber – would be a shame to paint
them.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">On the Prestige, the
wheelpants are integrated with the gear leg, so mounting the pants mount very
easily and are very durable. The pants are lightweight fiberglass, which
works very well – the glass is not as brittle as the CF. Of the 3 sets
of LG and wheelpants I have, the LG weighs 96 grams per set, and the wheel
pants weigh 30 grams per set. I typically freshen up the paint and fix
cracks on the wheelpants after about 400 flights on rough grass
fields.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I prioritize function
over appearance, so I say no sweep – it only adds load to the mounting
structure, and if the mounting structure is in the correct place, sweep is not
needed to put the axles at the right location. The small bit of arc adds
aesthetic appeal to the gear, if straight leg stuff is
offensive.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am not a fan of the
typical 2 piece gear – where each half stops short of the middle, and a nasty
bending load is created in the center of the gear plate (unless a spreader
plate/joiner is attached between the two legs). The Vivat/Prestige gear
overlap within the fuselage, so loads are carried on the edges of the fuse,
and there is little need for the beefy gear
plate.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

are preferred for the appearance, and impact form fit and function, that is,
there is a performace trade off to look cool, then all who prioitize in such a

issue We could make a gorgeous set of ultimate performing gear, but cost is a
large issue and if AeroSlave does not follow through it will be because of
cost. We must be able to cover our non reccurring costs of engineering
and especially molds which are very expensive. I am always a bit hesitant with
the pattern crowd and the need for the plane's components to be prettier than
the pilot or even his wife! I understand paint finish and such but making a
landing gear perfectly gorgeous when scutinized up close may add $25 per set.
Some will say this is a requirement, some will not. This is what I am trying
to figure out at the moment. Lance and I have a big handle on the technical
aspects, but things like sweep, finish etc can kill this (from a business
apsect) before we get off the ground. Swept gear will require more molds =$$$.
Almost everyone cuts a single gear into a left and a right.

interesting, but Lance and I will have to figure out how to proceed. This
feedback about stiffness, bouncing, toe in etc is great. We have prototypes
performing very well, but now we need to productionize the design.

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 <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Lubbock</st1:place></st1:City>. This is the only set of gear I’ve
ever experienced this with. More ridged gear don’t seem prone to this
behavior.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Calibri color=#004080 size=2><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #004080; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri">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></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings color=#004080 size=2><SPAN

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.
