Justin said: Thats not true. The orginal retracts had the least amount of ground clearance and the Diehl gear gave you more clearance. Justin, Scott was referring to the fact that if you change from the stub wing straight fuselage departure, to a constant dihedral from the centerline of the aircraft, you will raise the wing relative to the ground, in essence bringing the aircraft closer to the ground IF the attachment of the gear is to the spar, as in the Diehl gear. Grove gear mounts below the fuselage and would have to address the problem of the gradually increasing spacing as it went outboard. I personally think this would create alot more work, and I am not sure there would be any stability increase for the effort. Colin Rainey KR2(td) [email protected] Sanford, Florida FLY SAFE!!!!
