If it is Diehl gear, the mains will be composite & bolted to 2 big aluminum castings that attach to the spar.
If it is Grove gear, the mains will be metal 'spring' legs like a Cessna. If it is Robinson-Rand gear, it will have these ginormous metal castings & will retract backwards into the wing. I am currently building a tri-gear KR2 with 'reversed' Diehl taildragger mains. It requires some SEVERE shimming to get the gear to track straight, but can be done.
