Mike, just call Kat or myself and we can add you in to the list we already have going. 419-868-5408.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will call you guys tomorrow (Monday) and get on the list. I have been wanting to lighten my stock gear for awhile now, but do not know anybody that can do it for me. Now that you guys are offering this as an option I will buy a new gear from you.

Tom - I'm looking at the lightened gear for the 40% Carden Extra 300 (the bowed gear). The stock gear weight just under 25 oz so based on the 21 oz weight on your website for the lightned gear, it would only be about a 4 oz weight savings. I'm surprised that the weight savings on this gear isn't higher.

Is the 21 oz weight listed on your site correct for sure?

The weight was listed wrong it is 18oz not 21oz it has been corrected on the website.

Man anders, that is a tragic Feng Shui faux pas .
Looks like you will either add weight- to get it to work - or get into some serious relocating of the gear mount plate T nuts or whatever means that plane uses. Bummer!
Shame when good intention (and money!) take you for a ride down a bumpy road!

My buddy ordered some for his AW Yak and had the same problem. He said it was like pulling teeth getting them than they show up with no way to mount them without modifying the plane.

Ouch! For a guy so far away from the source- that situation is truly dog bit!
Beggin' for a refund isn't even practical. Sorry for the bad luck.

Why the hell is TNT is selling landing gear for certain aircraft.....that don't even fit? Or bolt up for that matter? Are they they being sold as a "Generic" type gear set.....which isn't made for any particular plane , but size of aircraft?

Anders....are they a lot stiffer ( stronger feeling ) than your stock gear?
