A1PC,
I saw those on your plane a few post back and was going to ask which size you have. How much taller is that gear over the stock gear?
Thanks for the link and I like your mod on the gear, good idea.
I don't remember exactly, but I thought I gained about 3" more clearance by going to the Tetherite L-G, PLUS about 4" wider stance!
Regarding the mounting of the DLE20cc gasser;
I did mine about 2 months BEFORE AW ever came out with their installation kit, which is a bit odd if ya think about the timing of such.
AW had prototypes of both their PROX260 & the DLE20 waaay before I did the first combo installation. I had nothing to go by, except good old common sense. Look at my attached photos and you'll see mine is mounted way farther forward than what the AW kit puts it......about 1.125" farther forward!
Also, regarding prop clearance;
AW has stated that they designed their PROX260 for extreme 3D, therefore an intentional heavy aft CG in stock form (since revised).
Also, others have stated they believed AW designed the larger PROX260 for an AX.75, so a 14"-15" prop was expected, NOT the 17" x 6 that the DLE20 loves.
Right now I'm at 7 lbs 2 oz with NO extra ballast, and loads of prop-to-ground clearance!!!
Other details about these are noted in the original AW Support section msg thread (noted here on page 3/Post #63)
