Please PM me if you have or know of some available, many thanks Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=507150#507150 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:47:04 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Main Gear legs From: "JonathanMilbank" The late great Neville Eyre did my tri-gear conversion about 10 years ago, because although I had completed building my aircraft as a mono 25 years ago, I didn't want to go through the building anguish again. Furthermore he had the jig and the time, while I had neither. Anyhow he told me that someone in England was making the legs, but he Nev had a pair ready and waiting in his workshop and furthermore they came from a Vans RV? Or at least that's what I seem to remember. Whatever the facts were, I jumped at the chance to pay him for the job to be done promptly.

Harmon and his daughter made all the legs for VANs aircraft." Whether they're still doing it, I don't know.

What about the rest of the stuff, front gear, brakes, etc. Does Europa have those? Can you source everything elsewhere? As a long term mono driver I too have occasionally given consideration to the conversion. Id like to import Bud also and all his knowledge and experience! Thanks for keeping us all informed on your search.
