Carbon Fiber Landing Gear
Does any one have a good source of information on building a set of CF landing gear? Please let me know any info or links to places with info on this subject. Thanks for your help.

Did you make your mold from the existing gear? Did they end up the same thickness as the old gear? Do you think you would have to put it in the oven, or could I use West Systems epoxy without heating it? Thanks for the help.

The epoxy I used is an equal or better than West Systems Epoxy. I used a Plexiglas compression form mold. The heat treating makes the epoxy harder. Read the info on my webpage in the other link. If you have any other questions, you can email me.
