I should have done a little looking before commenting that I thought
Grove made the Sonarai gear that Steve sells. Steve's website shows the
Sonarai gear sells for $495 and is made of 2024-T351, 5/8ths inch thick.
The Grove gear (Grove is right here on my airport incidentally) is 3/4"
thick
Just for another data point on this subject, Ken Cottle put Sonari gear
on his (mine now) KR 1?. He bought the gear through Steve at Great
Plains Aircraft. They've worked fine for about 1300 hours now. I'm not
sure but I think Grove makes the Sonari gear.

Concur with Larry Flesner regarding using the Yankee gear legs.
You will need a power bench planer to take the stock thickness down to 3/4
inch. The fiberglass is abrasive and will dull the planer blades somewhat.
A metal cutting band saw will do well for cutting the outline. Getting a
The downward aileron deflection of the upward going wing will stall
first.
You change the camber of the wing and increase the angle of attack,

Exactly. This condition can bite you low and real slow, like during a
landing flare or thereabouts. Back in the day of "rudder airplanes" when
aileron differential was not common, people talked about "aileron
reversal" at low speeds. The wing you wanted to go up, with its aileron
down, would
In a turn, if you bank further, the downward moving wing's angle of attack
is decreased. You actually have to worry about the outside wing and the
increased angle of attack as it is moving. The reduced downward deflection
of the aileron helps in that aspect.

I think they are saying the wing is "slightly less likely" to stall
compared
