    Default Die spring landing gear

    Howdy All,

    I am building a Bearhawk, Trimmer, style landing gear for my stretched pacer. I need some info from anyone who has knowledge of the size of steel used in the die spring construction process. The size of the piston rod, and the spring housing is what I am looking for. Thanks

    Not many people have Eddie's gear, yet. Give Eddie a call, he's a good guy.

    If i understand your plan, you want to use Bearhawk oleos on supercub style gear with a cabane-vee. Is that correct?

    I'm also looking into the Bearhawk oleos for use with my extended maule style gear. I've talked to Bearhawk and should have some specs on the oleos soon. I'll let you know.
