I bought a set of aluminum gear from Hanger 9 and was using that for a long time. But its soft aluminum and would spread just a little each time.
The G2 gear from Graph Tech cost me less then $95. That inculded a $10 up charge to make the gear to my instructions. My gear was wider than there standard gear and made for a 28 lb plane.

Roger, the G2 gear was 6oz lighter then the soft aluminum gear. I never had a chance to weigh Jacks gear but I know his was lighter than the soft aluminum.

Tony

All of the carbon landing gear supplied with our Sbachs in Pakistan are made in house and will soon be offered for others ....

Hey Jack,
Sorry to hear about you pneumonia , I hope you will fully recover.

Yes I have received and finished covering the Laser, I'm now painting some of the trims and will have some pictures shortly.

Looking good Roger.

What are you planning for the underside or are you going to leave it solid yellow?

Hi Roger
Very nice covering and trim, Have found that yellow is always yellow regardless of sky shade, very visable.

What part of that is harassment? I happen to really like the Sbach's that Roger is distributing. That is all it meant. So, don't go getting your granny panties in a wad, Jack, over a compliment.
