Hi All,

Can anyone help me with details of the Aluminum landing gear for the HiMax?

I'm referring to the the type of landing gear as shown in the photograph (taken from https://www.teammini-max.com/used-bargains/)

David mentioned on facebook that this was available for purchase from TEAM, I sent him an email asking about pricing a week ago but have not heard back.
What I want to know is the price and what is included in the price, do i need to buy extra hardware to attach the legs to the plane.

What hardware is needed to attach the wheels to the gear?

Thanks

I never heard of who might have made ally u/c. George used to make composite ones - someone will give you a link, mine is lost.

But you could try looking into the gear used on the Corby Starlet (a fine Aussie aeroplane). Similar weight, similar appearance on the u/c.

There is a an aluminum landing gear available now, David had it on a Hi-Max he was building that he showed on Facebook.
He also said that it was available for purchase from TEAM, I'm still waiting on David's reply to my email for pricing.

I was hoping that some one might have already got there hands on one and be able to answer my questions.

Thanks for the tip on the Corby Starlet landing gear, if you mean the one offered by Grove, I have been considering that as a possible option.
