<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As I read the responses regarding "sweep", including the
one I just sent, it occurs to me there me be some confusion on what it means. To
me, swept gear means a straight-legged gear that is swept, or raked, from front
to rear. In other words, the axle centerline is at a point further rearward than
where the gear mounts to the fuse. From some of the responses I read, I think
there are some who are calling curved gear, typical of a Sukhoi, swept gear.
Anyway, just wanted to mention it in case there's any confusion of
terms.</FONT></DIV>

is only on one side. Any advantage to that?</FONT><FONT face=Verdana

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.
