<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason I reported that is because the set of ES
gear that broke on me at Crowley, broke longitudinally with the grain of the
tow. I can't help but think a layer of biased cloth on top would have been
stronger. I do beleive he has tow running length wise under the
cloth.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>It;s great to have some options for landing gear, thanks for reporting
the specs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You mention the pretty woven cloth legs in respect to the carbon tow legs
of the bolly gear. The Carbon Tow running in the strength direction on
the Bolly gear leg is what really allowed them to produce a strong gear that
was also extremely light. While this may not make for the prettiest gear
legs, it is just good engineering. The woven cloth with fibers that
are not parallel to the loads that are placed on a gear leg are
simply not taking full advantage of the fiber's strength, and thus
will require more fiber for the same strength.</DIV>

good to have choices among quality pattern products. When Bolly went out
of the R/C landing gear business, I contacted GraphTech RC. They agreed
to produce a Bolly replacement for electric 2 meter pattern ships. I
have several sets and they are exceptionally well made with a very high gloss
finish. The sweep back is about 1/2 that of the Bolly Long which, for
me, resolved the tendency of my PL Partner to nose over when trying to taxi on
a grass field. The Graph Tech carbon wheel pants are just a hair shorter
than the small Bolly F3A but are a bit wider and taller which allows the use
of larger wheels....again, for those who might have to deal with grass fields
at a contest. The cost of the Graph Tech landing gear is $69.95....very
reasonable compared to what I've paid in the past for carbon landing gears
made outside the US .</SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I recently found out that Randy
Johnson, a control-line legend, former North America Bolly distributor and
owner of Aeroproducts, made arrangements with Bob McDonald, another
legendary control-liner to produce clones of the Bolly carbon fiber landing
gear that went off the market last year. Bob doesn’t live too far from me so
I went over to see what he’s got going on. He showed me a set of F3A
Electric that are identical to the originals. They’re laid up the same with
the same combination of carbon cloth and tow that result in a gear with just
the right blend of stiffness and flex. These are exact copies, not just an
attempt to make something that looks the same. Bob’s doing it right and
cooks every set in an oven to get the maximum strength out of the epoxy. I
provided him with the Bolly F3A Long gear off my Integral so he could clone
those as well. I just saw the first sets out of the mold today and they’re
great. I’ll be putting a set on my new Integral which I’m just getting
started on. Randy Johnson is the exclusive retailer of the gear and you can
get his info at http://www.aeroproduct.net/. He still lists the old
Bolly gear on his site so you’ll have to inquire about the new ones by phone
or e-mail which are both available on the website. Bob asked me to mention
that he’s not selling the gear. You’ll have to get them from Aeroproducts.
Bob tells me that Bolly wheel pant clones are also in the works from another
source and will be available soon from Aeroproducts.</SPAN></FONT></P>
