I had a mishap involving a broken rudder peddle assembly and partialy developed ground loop (partially developed because at 90 deg. the gear legs parted the aircraft and terminated the loop). I have the Yankee legs and I am trying to determine a spring constant to design my replacement legs. Dan Prichrd gave me a scrap from his Yankee leg and I have been doing some load/deflection testing. I don't have a clue what the stack is but I'm reasonably sure it's symetrical based on the striations in the profile cut. It's looking to me like the 1" yankee leg is going to be real stiff for my 600# KR2. I'm beginning to think the Diehl leg might be a better choice in my case and would like to know a bit more about them. I have asked Steve GLover for dimensions but haven't heard from him. Can anybody give me measured dimensions of a diehl leg? The Yankee leg is 1" thick and I've heard estimates of 3/4" to 1" and about 3" wide for the Diehl. A little change in the thickness and stack can make a big difference in the stiffness. Does anyone have, or know a source for, a set of the 30" legs they care to part with? I may be interested!
