My landing gear will be a tri-gear setup. The main aluminum landing gear was made by Grove Aircraft. It is 7/8" thick, 4.5" wide and tall enough to let me spin a 60" propeller and still have 9" of ground clearance. The nose gear will be incorporated into the motor mount design. A castering nose wheel and differential braking will handle the ground steering chores. Brake lines have been gun drilled in the gear legs. |

The wheel pants are model MF-3 from Aircraft Spruce. All the wheels are Azusa 5 x 5.00 aluminum. The tires are Cheng Shin 11.4 x 5". The brakes are C-90s from Tracy O'Brien. I am using his 4130 axles too. |

4130 steel brackets will mount the gear aft of the main spar to have the wheel center line 4" behind the spar. Using the one piece gear keeps the mounts out of the stub wings so there is more room for the fuel tanks. |
