I've been getting back to thinking about building bush gear now that my Avid MK IV is back up and flying.  Looked over Bob McCaa's posts about building his gear (from the old yahoo group)  http://www.avidfoxflyers.com/index.php?/topic/2110-build-your-own-avid-spring-gear-document/#comment-15460   Also got to looking at some of the other posts of bent longerons and such with the bush gear.  I remember that Joey went with a gear with shock absorbers and all that looks real nice and seemed to do the trick, but at more $ than I'm wanting to spend.  Has anyone got anything new or different to add to this discussion?  Or even a rehash of the old. :-)  Thanks, JImChuk
