I have a set of use grove landing gear that were painted green. I need to remove the paint off of them. Any suggestions the best method?? Aviation stripped? sand blasting?

Aircraft stripper will not hurt aluminium. I have bought it before at the local hardware store. Not sure if it is still that easily available or not. It's pretty powerful stuff.

I see it all the time in the hardware stores around here. I'm grab a gallon and see how it does.

I tried the citrus stripper from HD and it was crap. Returned for SafetyStrip(?) which was better. Took 2x and rinsed w/ baking soda, no damage to aluminum.

Aircraft stripper. If you blast, use glass beads or plastic media. Sand is too rough/tough.
