    Default Wagabond Grove Landing Gear

    I've noticed that Grove stocks a wagabond spring landing gear. Anyone seen one mounted before?

    There are 3 Wagabonds here that I know of and none has the grove. Mine has a univair and the other 2 use tri-pacer main gear turned around. Bruce

    curious how those would mount..... noticed them when building my (sorta) wagabond, but went with the traditional method.

    Were the Tri Pacer gear just turned around or were they cut apart and rewelded ala Dave Blanton's V6 STOL plans? Off the top of my head I can't see how just turning them around would work.

    I worked on a Pacer that the gear had been turned around. No adequate structure and the geometry was all wrong.
