    Richard, I am assuming that the other offer you had was superior and that you don't need me to put together my ageing bits of foam for you.

I managed to snap my carbon fibre spinnaker pole on my last trip and am trying to make an internal sleeve to repair it. Nigel Graham has given me some good advice but I need to make a male former to mould a repair piece on and I think blue foam will be the best option as I can dissolve it from inside the sleeve after I have made it. > > If the weather ever becomes flyable again soon, I can pop down to Gloucester or wherever is convenient for you to pick it up.

    Subject: conventional gear vs. tri-gear retrofit
    From: "HowardM" <hmallett@uniserve.com>
    Want to change my new-to-me XS Monowheel to either a conventional or a tri-gear version, and understand there are a few options/ideas out there.... Tri-gear makes lots of safety sense, but taildragger looks promising as well. I would appreciate any and all advice on which way is better/easier/most reliable etc... There appears to be more than one way to do the conventional gear with a single-piece metal or carbon-fiber leg, but that failures have occurred. Anyone out there who could enlighten me on this? Appreciate any feedback! I'm in Canada on the West Coast. Thanks, Howard -------- Howard Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435770#435770
