What wheel axles are you using as shown in post 37.


Thanks

Hi David,

Most of the time, especially in a hard landing one undercarriage leg tach the ground before the other one, The link between the two undercarriage legs, made of aluminum, disperses the forces to the all area of the undercarriage mount.

I think that aluminum will transfer the forces better then carbon because the bolt undercarriage will squeeze the carbon.

I use these wheel axles:
