Does anyone have the main gear leg laying around that they could put on a scale? Just the gear, nothing mounted.

Flying from Chapala, Mexico.- Yesterday was kind of cold. Temp was 75F.- wind calm few clouds great aft ernoon flight. - - --- On Fri, 1/16/09, Tommy Walker wrote: From: Tommy Walker Subject: Zenith701801-List: Older Doors I have a circa 2001 kit that I'm building. It has the older flat side doors with metal sides and upper window. I've seen a few doors like this that were "bubbled." I was wondering if anyone had any plans or ideas about how to form a bubble door out of the older style? I think Skyshop used to supply a door like this, but I understand they don't sell to zenith builders any longer. Any comments/ideas appreciated.
