Wider landing skids for Caliber 30 ?
I would like to get wider landing skids for my Caliber. I've seen the maverick ones but they make it sit lower ?!. Anyone recommend better ones. I want to avoid a tail strike and also at the same time have stability on the ground.....

I've seen the Maverikk ones on a Cali at our field and it looks like it keeps the tail out of the grass ok.

The Quick UK gear is a good option and comes in several colors.

two questions.
1. do they sit higher than the stock ones 2. are they strong ? |

You could always use the skids from a raptor 30..they are wider and sit lower.
They improved stability minimally. I don't know why you're looking for stronger ones, the cali skids are quite strong. Ross |

I was making sure the colorful ones above were just as strong as the stock Caliber ones >> |

They don't sit that low..the raptor ones will keep the tail up out of the grass

you are right ! they actually sit a tad bit (just a tad) higher than the stock ones. Thanks guys.

The best replacement skids for the Caliber is the Rapter 50 skids. They look as if they was made for the Caliber.
