?? Could someone tell me the angle of the Diehl main gear brakets? I intend to make my own. I also remember a post ?regarding composite legs that some of you had used. Any idea if they might still be available ? ps?at what position?are the mounting brackets attached to the main spar?

I'm also using the legs cut down for >the front gear. >Dprich01 at comcast.net +++ The Diehl upper brackets are mounted to the spar with the leg angled at 45 degrees. The lower bracket is also 45 degrees. If you want to increase the camber a bit I'd suggest you modify the lower fitting a bit to the angle you want. I went with 45 / 45 and it has worked out well for me. The Grumman gear legs are made of the same material as the Diehl legs but are slightly thicker and wider. You will have to modify them a bit to get similar results, i.e., cut a bit narrower or run through a planner to modify the thickness. Some builders make upper gear brackets using 1/8" steel plate. I added about 1/8" of fiberglass to my 30 inch legs for a bit more stiffness. If you use the Grumman legs with more than 24" length I'd suggest leaving them a bit thicker than the 24" Diehl leg. With my 24" fuselage stretch I needed longer legs to get the correct 3 point stance. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8669.JPG I made my lower brackets using a piece of 2"X6"X1/4" 4130 steel plate. I cut through the plate at center going about 3/4 of the way through the metal. I bent the plate at the cut to 45 degrees with the cut on the outside. I had a gusset welled to the inside and had the cut welded shut and then sanded the weld to a nice radius. I think the Diehl lower bracket is 2 1/2 inches wide. http://myplace.frontier.com/~flesner/21.jpg Diehl instructions say to mount the upper brackets next to the fuselage. I moved my brackets outboard 4 to 6 inches on each side for a slightly wider gear stance. That and 30 inch legs instead of the Diehl 24 inch legs give me a nice 8 foot wide gear track. There is much discussion about "toe-in, toe-out". I set my track at zero / zero and love the ground handling and I get zero tire side ware. I also run a slightly lower tire pressure (25 pounds) than some and my tires seem to last forever. On an annual once I found them both to have deflated to 15 pounds each. They still looked and performed perfectly normal although I'd not recommend running them below the 25 pound range if possible or unusual side loads might cause a problem. Keep the aircraft aligned with the direction of travel when on the ground and that won't be an issue. :-) 500+ hours and still wearing the KR grin Larry Flesner
