Has anybody in the group made a comparison with the HK36 gear? (taildragger of
course) The parts list with descriptive drawings (no dimensions though) is on
the Diamond web site. See:

Very interesting Ian!
I was just researching the Grove website late last night. As a matter of
fact, I just spend 30 minutes or so this morning reading the FAA requirements
to see how difficult obtaining a FAA STC would be.
Let's work on making this happen, I think this is the best solution I have
seen for this issue yet.
This is a double cantilever leaf spring design, is there enough room under
the U/C cover to allow for the flex? I don't know that the dimona gear allows
as much flex clearance in the center in a hard landing since all of the stress
seems to be concentrated in the gear legs. Maybe Nigel or Ian can comment on
this as I have not removed the undercarriage cover and seen the mounting points
of the factory gear. Anyone have a photo with the gear off, or at least the
U/C cover off?

Got this as a possible replacement for dimona undercart even with spats
it would be est 6kg lighter than the present system and is built to FAR 23 stds
which are higher than the JAR22 std of the present cart
It is certainly worth a thought and they make same for certified aircraft
and come with release note. $200 extra is to have the oil line internal. I
understand Daffyd Llwellyn has one for a plane he is building so I will ask
him.
sorry to be overloading peoples inbox but I think this is worth a thought
as the originals are $12K and unailable for at least 4 to 6 months
