The Bolly F3A Wide gear seem to be the best....

The wide is not for a wider fuse but rather is a wider stance...They also set a little higher maybe 1/2-3/4" higher than the F3A Large gear....The std F3A gear I believe are the 60 sized landing gear. The wide gear gives a good stance and you don't end up with the floaty side to side movement of a narrower gear that might on a hard turn tip and catch a wing tip. They do weigh a little more but I think its worth it....On anything at 10lbs or over...Below 10lbs I think the F3A large gear are good......Get the Bolly wheel pants too they make a CF version or a glass and carbon version. The pants have a indented slot that fits the Bolly Struts makes for a neat and clean install......The Bolly 2000 gear are also good. They were designed around the Desafio 2000 designed by Quique they look like a Sukoi landing gear and are not swept back but come straight out and are curved...Again they look sexy and work very well. In fact they take a tremendous amount of abuse. The problem is the planes landing gear plate won't take as much so be aware a fixed gear plane don't belong landing in the weeds....Its on the runway in a nice way or you will be fixing it!


They are easily fit to any fuse width as you cut them in half and make 2 struts....This is pretty common. On some planes that the belly or cowl will come off and access the gear its easy.....But some models like the Smaragd you just cut a slit in the side of the fuse and slide each strut or leg into the slot and bolt in place.....This makes for a really neat and clean install but takes more time to build than the ones that have easy access.
