Main gear technical drawings

[Benoist 0]

Hi there, it seems that most of the modified gear welders are out of business now and none of them are located in Europe, so I am thinking of having a welder here to build me an extended gear for my Avid MKIV. Would any member of the forum be willing to share some technical drawings of an existing solution?

Here is some info on the gear.  I do think he has modified his design somewhat though.  As I recall, the tube between the cabane and the gear leg attaches lower down, near the end of the axel.  JImChuk

Thanks, looks like a good starting base!

I haven't flown my gear yet, but the design is in this post on my thread.  http://avidfoxflyers.com/index.php?/topic/7354-another-kitfox-iv-rebuild-project/&do=findComment&comment=68547

This is a thread on my ponderings about the gear and my design of it. http://avidfoxflyers.com/index.php?/topic/7688-fuselage-landing-loads-kitfox-iv-and-cabane-gear/

The landing gear is shown in this picture. FYI, I'm about ready to get the engine running again, and then small stuff before it flies again.
