Graphtech makes a generic 40 size carbon gear that is one inch taller than the factory gear and it is almost four inches wider in stance (I think this will be a great mod adding some flex without bending the gear). I am supposed to call him this afternoon with the dimensions of the factory gear. My only concern is the strength of his factory gear made for a lighter plane. He said he could set me up no matter what the need.

However I must say, I am very impressed with his product in general, I have his gear on a funtanna 40, funtanna 90, 27% 260 Extra, TOC1 30% yak and soon to be on the Yak Pro. Being an agressive 2nd year flier (and slow learner) I am hard on the gear. I have torn the gear clean off the funtanna 40 in 15 to 18 MPH winds and tall grass (the gear was fine). I have dead sticked the 260 (inverted and low) with a 20 MPH tail wind, got it right side up but pancaked the gear and flipped it with minor damage to the tail rudder That one did crack some glue joints at the landing gear (again the gear survived fine).

Oh yea, he also just completed the mold and is making me gear for a Showtime 4D I have NIB. That will be my next project after the Yak Pro. He will be sending that gear with the Yak Pro gear we decide on.

Enough about the gear, I just installed the hinges and tailfeathers on the Yak it looks like it is going to be a great flier. I did have to modify the opening at the elevator to get more throws on the elevator. The manual says +40 degrees on high rates and the elevator was hitting the fuse right at 40 degrees. I just filed a bevel at the point where the elevator hit on the top and the bottom for more clearance. I may not use or need it but I now have the option to go up to 62 degrees either way on the elevator. It was much easier to do the mod before the tail feathers were epoxied in place. If anyone is interested I could send pix of the mod and increased throws.
