Peg Leg gyro

[skyguynca]

Nice gear design, very simple and should have good shock absorbtion. What are the legs made out of?

The AL. is 1 and 1/2 O.D. 1/8 wall. COMO .065 most of the way down the AL. No flex. Just like a peg leg.

Thanks for the pics, Brent. Looks nice and best of all, light.

today I got the nose gear back on and the boom is bolted on for good now. all this was just to level up the keel.

The motor mount is next, and I'm still kicking around what type to use. If I use the holes that are in the mast for the KB3 it has to be just right so I can get the biggest prop I can. I guess I should have ordered the mast without motor mount holes in it.

A clamp on type mount will make the mout adjustable up and down so that is what I will go with. More PICs will follow as I get cutting tubes.

Mount and prop fitting

this was just to see if the 73" prop fits and it will so now to make the lower supports for the mount and a tail. This will be forsale after I fly it, anyone?
