Can someone tell me what model this gear is from? It is currently on a Kitfox 2 but is not original to the aircraft. Thanks.

The gear looks identical to my Model III gear.  Note that the bungees should not be sagging on the ground.  Also, swaged cable loops were specified for the safety in case a bungee lets loose, not clothes line.  I would not fly it like that.

The way the axel attaches to the rest of the gear with the plate and bolts is not like any Avid or Kitfox factory gear I've seen.  Maybe someone remodeled their existing gear as a way to adjust toe in or toe out?  (maybe they never heard of the 8' pipe trick)

Taking a second look, I agree.  The way the axle is mounted to the gear leg is different from mine and one I haven't seen before.
