Thanks Peter,


I have  a set of these legs and I heard that someone has done just as you 
suggested, cut them in half, but I don't know how that worked out.  They are 1" 
thick.  I don't think it would be good practice to reduce the thikness not 
having any information on the stacking and I'm afraid without reducing the 
thickness the section will not be stable in torsion if the width is reduced 
enough to make the leg flex accepable for my plane.  That is why I'm looking 
into the Diehl leg which has been shown to work well on KRs.  That said, the 
Cheetah legs may work just fine, I haven't given up on them.

 )  are designed for an aircraft with a gross weight of 2400lbs. Cutting them 
in half would give a design gross weight of 1200lbs, but reduce twisting 
resistance. They are 261/2 long. Peter
