 It's a big stik 60 Arf gear. I have a 120 4 stroke on it, and needed taller gear for prop clearance, these fit the 60 Tiger perfectly.
Ed

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBNA9&P=Z

14.00 not a bad price



Ed thanks for that, it looks like what I'm after. 14" wide is ok, is the mounting surface 4" wide on your's and how tall is it from base to axle. I will probably have to use a 16 x 8 prop to properly load engine and idle low enough to slow down for landings, I have got alot of info. on the DLE 20 on the Gas Engines site and that prop is best performer on that engine. Your 120 will turn a fair size also, hows your ground clearance with the prop your useing.

It's really great having this kind of help and support Ed, thanks alot

Front gear mount is just 1/4 ply epoxyed in place and reinforced with tri stock I believe..Is there not a tail dragger mod in the plans ? It is in the fuse rite on the leading edge of the wing......You have done way harder stuff already...I think about 6/32 blind nuts in the ply...Is that what you were asking?


Thanks biker, no I worded it wrong, I need the gear leg and mount sizes before I can go much farther. I suppose I can get the mounting plate in, have to do it anyway and can put the blind nuts in later, it's easier to do before it's glued in thow.

Status: offline 		the 120 is on my big stik, I have a 91 on the Tiger,

With this gear a 15" prop is no problem approx 2-3 " clearance with the tail wheel on the ground and 1.5" when the tail is level, so you will lose another 1/2" with the 16",

I was running a 14-10 on the 120 big stik, it was way faster than a 60 size escapade with a DLE 20, I put taller landing gear to run a 16-6, and the vertical was way better, could actually hover it, and pull out,  but lost some top speed.

One club member put a three bladed prop on the dle and had great results, another way to get some more clearance.

Status: online 		I am using the Du-Bro Super Strength landing gear on my tiger... It is 4.5" from the bottom of the plane to the axel 14" wide and mount is 3 5/8" I am swininging a 14" prop and when the tail is up it clears the ground 2" ... This is fantastic gear..You can not bend it..It is paintable...No bounce The Du-Bro Number is 789 Take a look at it I am using it on everything it will fit on I like it so much... I am only using 2.75 wheels on my tiger , if you needed a bit more ground clearance you could get it quit easily by puttit a larger set of wheels ,lowering the axel a wee bit and addind a extra plate on the bottom of the fuse...My ground clearance measurments were accurate with the tail very high...I think you could easily get away with a 16" prop...Du-bro's price for the gear is $14.70

Status: offline 		Biker where is Sorrento,I have rode all over Eastern B.C. and much of Western Alberta ( Venture 1500 ) love it up there, have'nt been up for some time and don't ride anymore. Anyway you get a star today for actually reading the post "and" giving an answer, thank you so much. I'm getting to like you.

I took your measurements to the shop and laid it all out with 2 1/2 " wheels and I get 1 3/4 " of clearence on plane which will work just fine. Question, where did you get the gear from. Nice having you along for this build, take care.

P.S. I don't think tundra tires would look good on a Tiger,ha ha.

I checked the gear out at Tower Hobby and it's injection molded, not sure I like that. You said it won't break but will it support a 8 to 10 lb. plane?. A .61 is a 7 lb. plane and thats the max. it's rated at. I really like the looks of it thow, just can't emagine the composition used to get that kind of strength.

Thank God for swap meets, went to one this morning and found the Du-Bro super strength landing gear new in wrapper for $5.oo, two 2 3/4" wheels $2.00 and 2 new Zinger 16 x 8 props for $10.00
Biker told me about the gear and he was right about the quality, stroung and very nice looking as well as worth the $14.70 from Tower Hobby.

Sure nice having all you guys helping us out, thank you all.

I have had the server error also, I think it could have something to do with the time and load being put into it ?.

Every one likes pictures so I hope you will be able to post soon. I'm at a stage of getting the fuse to accept the new mounting system for wings, 3or4 more days, should have more to add.

Best to all.

What about the Weight savings over aluminum. this seems to be what the pattern and race guys used to use. i bet all the race guys use CF now. this sounds like the cost effective alternative.

plane looks good. pool table needs work though. get the ping pong top for it. then put two or three build projects on top. then your pool table will be on par with all other RC guy pool tables.


Edited.....

Just noticed the stove in the background. this would be nice. get tired of building for while and make a little snack.

I have had the pool table buried, but i'm trying to change my ways

Status: offline 		Well I got a few more things worked out. There is a full size ply doubler between former A and B, actual retainer wing rib in place and wing will be fit on plane, there is a 1/8" taper toward rear and the surface is flat. Pictures show the new construction upper cowl , turtle deck and cockpit area

Wings were installed to check fit and see how it was all coming together, looks good. I can cut the engine fire wall mount out and cut for tabs then drill wall for engine mount and finally start glueing it together. I made some new parts to fit the mods. I made and beef up front end to handle the bigger engine. Top of cowl will still have the hatch but it will be longer and canpoy will be 5" shorter. I think it's going to look pretty good when done.

I'm doing everything I can to hold the weight down, what I've added weighs very little. I did a small amount of tail end work to help strengthen the weekness there, I will feather elevators and rudder to remove some weight there, they will be extended some.

I like the sceme on this one but not sure on colors. Plenty of time to consider the finish.

Unrelated to Tigers... I have some of those red and blue bins in my shop too but for the life of me I don't know how they should be mounted. Do they have a rail at the back or is there a shelf holding them up?

Span-wise stripes like that with contrasting colors really make a plane visible in just about any light. I think it is a good choice. I try to use that concept and it has saved me a few times when the plane has gotten, er... a little ahead of me.
