(Dan Checkoway) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:21:47 PM PST US From: "Daniel Storer" Subject: RV7-List: Landing Gear walk??? I was told today that the landing gear on a RV can walk fwd and aft. Has anyone experience this? It was recommended to look at the landing gear for the RV8 on the Grove Aircraft www.groveaircraft.com web site. It would take a new design for a RV 7 application, but I see how it would be stiffer fwd and aft. Any thoughts out there? Thanks, Dan S.

Build on...don't worry about this. You can add wood stiffeners to your gear legs later if you really figure out a way to rationalize doing so (I didn't, there's no need). Anything above and beyond that is re-engineering, and you'd be going where you probably shouldn't go. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (762 hours) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Storer Subject: RV7-List: Landing Gear walk???
