I have seen the spring gear Mark Townsend had bent up
for his 601 XL. It is a substantial piece of metal.
It is 6061-T6 and I am sure he said the company he had
do the job cold bent the gear. Mark maybe you can
fill in on the details.
This company supplied him with the aluminum already
cut to shape so all he had to pay for was the weight.
The then took his router to the leading and trailing
edges and took it bak to have bent up. All told less
than $600 Canadian - less than $400 US. I intend to
go to the same supplier to have mine done.
FWIW

Hi Thilo,
I'm in the Berlin area, Strausberg.
This DX is getting a constant speed Prop, so I thought RPM and MAN as analog would
be nice as the approx 'sound' of the engine isn't gonna be enough
to make a guess of go or no go1
Never flown with a HDS, how does it perform? Is Roland making that too?
Regards

I'm using Grove Aircraft gear for my scratch built. It is 2024 T3 which they
anneal, bend and do all the machining then harden to T6. Mine weighs 28#,
and cost $900. They also gun drill the brake lines and drill the axel holes.
It also has a lifetime unlimited guarantee.

They may use the same company but Aircraft Spruce sells Aluminum spring gear.
They sell one pre-made for the 701 for $645 and say they can custom make it
for any plane.

Attention 601HD and HDS scratch builders:
I still have the left and right fuselage steps for a tri-gear airplane. These are
part nos. 6-F-14-4 welded step assembly and 6-F-14-3 extruded angle. The current
list price for these parts is $77.40 plus shipping. I will sell the 4 parts
for $50(US)
which includes shipping via UPS ground anywhere in the country. Outside the US
the price would be $38.50(US) plus shipping. I built a custom step installation
which eliminates the hump on the bottom of the fuselage so I don't need them,
but someone must.
Anyone interested, contact me off list.

I really can't say. I suspect it was a break press. I
talked with Mark this afternoon and he told me the
gear for the 701 is significantly smaller than it is
for the XL. I didn't know that but now see why someone
might want to go with the 2024 for the 701. If you
want more information send Mark Townsend an email at
601XL@sympatico.ca.
