| Subject: | Titanium Landing Gear |
--> Tailwind-List message posted by: Rcaprd@aol.com
Tailwinders,
I've got the right wing ready to install the ribs, hidden aileron / flap
hinges almost done, and I have the fuselage jig set up out in my shop. I've been
researching the possibility of using Titanium landing gear, in leu of the 6150
steel called out in the plans (or the 4340 steel used by Harmon Lange). It
is stronger, and lighter than steel. I found several sources on the net, that
supplies the raw material. I'm looking for a shop that can do the machine
work.
Question:
Has anyone used Titanium Landing Gear ? What dimensions should it be
machined to ? How difficult is it to machine ? Other pros & cons ?

Chuck,
The biggest advantage will likely be the weight
savings. The biggest con will likely be the damage it
will do to your bank account!
No experience but would be most interested in the
weight differences. Rich

Wings will be skinned, and covered this week. O-320 will be on the mount. The lexan
will be next. Some finish work on the doors, and belly pan. Still looking
like it will be in the air late March.
