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.</span></p></div>

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><br>Anthony<br><br></span></p>
