LANDInG GEAR 85" YAK
Could someone tell me how much the stock gear weighs on the 85" Yak? I'm thinking of replacing it with an aluminum one from TNT.
Thanks,
Larry

The Aluminum one is heavier but I don't know how much. It's OK to replace it with aluminum gear. I did ask TNT to give me some info on their gears but never got anything back from them. The good thing about the TNT gear is it does show a little flex where the CF is really stiff. I would have to weigh our FG gear but don't have a digital scale at home. Sorry. If I were to guess maybe the aluminum is heavier by 4-6oz.
Thank you,

Does anyone know someone building landing gear out of fiberglass? I have some for a Funtana 90 and they are just perfect: just the right amount of flex, extremely durable, etc. Carbon fiber is great but the more durable layups being manufactured don't allow much flex.
