Kevin, I bought my composite gear (not sure it's carbon fiber) from Czech Aircraft Works. (aircraft(at)czaw.cz<mailto:aircraft(at)czaw.cz>) I got the legs, saddles, wheels, brakes, tires, etc. from them. Each leg complete weighed in at around 12.5 pounds. My first contact was with Chip Irwin, then with Marketa Durdakova. What with the currency fluctuations, I wouldn't know what the price is now, but it's comparable to Grove's prices. Very nice people to work with.

When I inquired about the Czech gear, Chip said he would not sell it, so I
decided to go with the Grove gear as it is considerably lighter than the ZAC
gear and requires less modification for installation than the composite. .
But, If the Czech gear is now available, I will reconsider, as I have not
yet ordered gear. My only concern, assuming the Czech composite is now
available, is just how much more difficult is the installation, especially
with the fuselage already essentially completed - any clues?

Sorry, I'm not the guy to ask. I scratch-built the fuselage, making and correcting mistakes all the way, so it was all "original" construction. I also added some extra pieces that may not have been necessary. But the gear are nice components, and even lighter than Grove.
