Landing Gear Update:

So I'm sitting here looking at my new Focus II kit.. and hmm.. this landing gear is longer than most. Pretty light too at 2.7 ounces for both gear legs together. The landing gear on the Focus II is 8" from axle to mounting plate.. long enough to clear a 22" prop on most airplanes. When you put a 2.5" wheel on this gear, I get 12.25" from thrustline to ground in a fuse-level attitude on my Supreme with no weight on the gear. So I'm going to use this landing gear for now. Cost is $45 from Piedmont Models.

Doug,

Looking that that Focus II. Do you think it could be converted to electric power without too much trouble? Particularly, would the motor and batteries fit and would the batteries be easy to change? I'm not looking for a competition plane here so weight wouldn't be a major concern of mine unless it is really heavy.

Thanks,

Wiz
