Cub-Style Landing Gear
Here are the pictures everyone has
been requesting.... The gear have been tested by Rodney (our self proclaimed
test pilot), not by choice, more like fate... They have been dropped in
from 3-5 ft. without any problems at all. (smooth landing for Rodney). The
gear was designed after super cub gear, which are all most indestructible.
Although we have seen a few bent ones. Gear are all 6130 chrome molly. Ok,
here are the negatives. The longerons must be taken apart to install the gear.
This is the only way to put in the new chrome molly gear saddle that will
absorb the landing gear shock. The gear is also narrowed up from approx. 6 ft.
to (see photo with tape). You absolutely don't notice it. We have just
starting making our jigs. I can't say how much we will have to charge, but they
will be more than the Back Forty gear, do to the amount of chrome molly
involved. P.S. The big guy in the picture is Colby the land test pilot.
