Status: offline 		Can someone tell me who is making the Carbon Fibre Landing gear for the Venus II? I bought a set and need another and can't remember the mans name that I bought them from...

I've searched and can't find the link.

I would appreciate it. Thanks

Status: offline 		I emailed him to start and he called me right back. Ken is a good guy. Not aware of any other gear for the Venus; it's kind of a different shape/mounting style than most other planes.

Status: offline 		Hey, Joe, how is the CF gear holding up? I am wondering because I have yet to see CF gear that lasted very long on gasser or nitro planes.

I might need it for my Focus Sport, which I got after the mid-air with my Venus at Black Dirt. I bought it late June right after the tragic demise of the Venus, but just got around to working on it a couple of weeks ago. The stock LG leaves a lot to be desired - to put it mildly - but it is aluminum and will likely stand up better to the YS 1.10 with the Hyde mount. Maidening it tomorrow or Sunday, depending on weather.

BTW, the Focus Sport looks nice now and I am hopeful that it will fly well, but it is by a wide margin the most... umm... "issue-riddled" ARF that I have ever assembled!

The gear is pretty bomb proof. Doing very well despite plenty of abuse. I would not recommend it if it were not holding up.

Status: offline 		Ok Joe, thanks and sorry for the miss understanding. I will patiently wait for his reply. I just got my Venus II and I am going to completely recover it so I have time for the gear.
