Hello folks:Thought I'd start to get in on the discussions. I'm currently building my second Air Camper. My first one was franklin powered with one piece wing, long fuse, strait axel gear and fabric covered wire wheels. It won best of show Arlington 96. I then sold it to a local flyer and finally was cought in a hanger fire about two christmas's ago. I was given all the hardware and undercarriage back so that I could reuse. So at this point I have new wing ribs made for the 3-piece wing and tail feathers and have cleaned up the fittings and primed. I have been wondering which gear I'd use this time as I had made up the metal split axel gear legs before switching to the wood gear on my last Piet. Any comments on that subject?
