I have the stiff leg gear with 21" spoked wheels.My references were the landing gear drawing in the "Flying and Glider Manualand the old BPA article on Howard Hendersons wheels.One caution about the Flying and Glider drawing, don't use the dimensionsfor the steel attachment plates for the lower part of the gear. It seemsthat every gear is different even from the same plan. Build the wooden"vee" strut assemblies, THEN make a cardboard pattern directly from thestruts and use that for a pattern to cut your steel.Good LuckLou Larsen----- Original Message -----
