Re: KR> Diehl Landing Gear

I don't think the cut at the top of my 30" gear legs is any different than what you see with the 24" Diehl legs. Mine have the angled cut against the spar and the flat side away from the spar. Oddly enough, mine was configured with a nose gear when I bought it as a project. That's not to say

Re: KR> Diehl Landing Gear

Larry those instructions should help to clear up things. I still see no reason why the legs with angles on both sides won’t work. If you get an angle 15 to 20 degrees in front of the spar to axle is go for it. But that’s just me. Your results may differ. Mark Jones Oldsmar, Fl N771MJ “Wunder

Re: KR> Diehl Landing Gear : Where to Obtain.

I still like my retractable gear. Why are people going to the considerable effort to replace it with fixed gear? What is the performance before and after? Has anyone ever really tried to seal up the retractable wheel wells (I have to some extent) it should make a big performance improvement. ++

And there's always simply welding up the holes in the gear brackets, and redrilling them wherever you want them later. That's maybe 20 minutes of work for a welder. Yes it will weaken the aluminum some, but these brackets are way overbuilt anyway. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml

Would someone be kind enough to submit to the group or to me the size of the blank one must have to cut out the Diehl landing gear legs. With the Canadian dollar trading at 75 cent US the thought importing them just doesn't exist. And there is a firm nearby that sells cutoffs. Thanks Bill Weir

Larry is correct that the bolts alone are enough. I have over 200 landings on mine this way with no movement or issues. Also an added benefit of not glueing the brackets to the spar will allow any future decisions to change from tail dragger to nosewheel configuration or vice versa. This assum
