Jim,There is a copy of the spring strut drawing and landing gear jig in the mail toyou today.These are the drawings I used to build my gear which is working real well (so far).I adjusted the height to accomodate 18" motorcycle wheels vs. the 6.00 x 6 wheelsthat the drawing is for.Hope you can post them somewhere.I lost the receipt for the springs I used but they can be bought over the internetpretty easily.If you do a Google search for "Die Springs" you will get a lot of hits for suppyhouses.I used the 1 1/2 OD X 6 Gold springs. (The gold color indicates they are heavyduty)Here is one of the links that I found.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Springs and landing gearTo Bob Seibert Hi Greg Menoche, first time builder of a Piet and first to the list. I have a drawing from Bill Rewey. Is this the same design you refer, and where did you find the springs?________________________________________________________________________________

Yes, the spring landing gear setup is from the Rewey drawing.It works fine so far and I just used a generic "heavy duty" die spring of the dimensionslisted.They needed a little shimming but work great.Regards,Bob Seibert________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 10:04:15 -0500 (GMT-05:00)
