I use Robart 1/5 scale (#630) 90 degree units on all 3 legs. The nose could use a lighter gear such as the SpringAir.

Hey Nav,
Those guys letting you fly yet? Do they have any crazy restrictions like you can fly turbines but not with kerosene. Have they figured out you are on the wrong frequency?? Tell them that flying in a small opening in a large forrest is a bad idea. Keep'm flyin bro.

I tried the Robart retracts bodies from my Kangaroo and they seem to drop right in. I don't see the need for rotating gear. I'm not too impressed fith the Sullivan lite nose wheel. I think we should get a couple of us and have someone tool one up for us.
What do you think?

The nose fork axil is a press fit. You can just tap it out and replace it with a BVM or Glennis wheel.
BTW you might take a look at the nose wheel plate. I broke mine this weekend at Pampa jets (my bad landings). There is not much wood on the side rails and some carbon fiber would stiffen this up.

Mikey, send me details on Pampa! I too have had landings that were not my fault, sometimes the earth suddenly drops four or five feet causing a stall situation and subsequent hard landing. Not your fault in my book.
