Very interesting. I have a full size drawing of a 30" gear leg if I
could find it . I did notice the 20 degree angle cut on the top of the
leg. As the leg is attached very near the CG it tends to agree with
Tony Bingalis in one of his books. He recommends an angle of 15 degrees
forward of the CG for wheel contact on a conventional gear aircraft.
There have been a number of posts over the years that suggest a
difference between conventional and tri-gear legs. I'm still not
convinced and believe they are identical and differ only in the
mounting location and orientation. But that's just me. I'm old and set
in my ways.
If I were building a 2s I would go with longer gear legs if using
conventional gear setup. The 24" leg was designed for the original 2
and do not give a good three point attitude on the ground for the
stretched 2s and especially on mine with 24 inch stretch. I started
with 24" legs and later purchased a set of 30" legs. Actual installed
length is approx 29" and just right for my longer KR.
