It's looking real good. You really should put the Grove gear on it. It makes a world of difference. I put it on my plane and love it. -------- Steve Wilson Huntsville, UT Kitfox Model 1- 85DD 912A / 3 Blade Warp Drive Convertible Nosewheel & Tailwheel Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441615#441615 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:55:16 PM PST US From: =?utf-8?Q?

When my gear's bottomed out it's very stiff. The Grove gear always kind of wandered and the wings rocked a lot more and everything seemed "looser". I guess I always liked the more positive feel of the tube gear. I do concede, though, that the Grove gear can withstand an /amazing /amount of abuse. Worst case is that you bend it. Then you send it in and they bend it back for you. Very convenient. Guy Buchanan Ramona, CA Kitfox IV-1200 / 912-S / Warp 3cs / 500 hrs. and grounded Now a glider pilot, too.
