Subject: Pietenpol-List: Main Landing Gear.When I get to the stage of building my landing gear I dont want to usethe solid LG. I want to either use the bungee, the rubber disks (dontknow where to find them), or the spring setup yall talked about some timeago. Now if anyone can send me some pictures on how to convert a solid LGto shock I would appreciate it.Tell me where in AS&S I can find the shock rubber donuts and moreinformation on the spring setup.SteveSteve W GN-1 builderIHA #6________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Main Landing Gear.Steve,I believe I've seen rubber "donuts" listed in the Wag-Aero catalog. I know they're used on Ercoupes, and might be made to fit your gear. Check 'em out.Don Cooley________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 07:43:27 -0600

I used Urethane pucks 6 x 1" each at a cost of $60.00 Canadian. Normallyused at newspaper printing houses. They can be made to order. I found forthe Piet. weight it should be Duro #080. Will last forever. Absorbs shockand does not throw back the energy like rubber.Dom.________________________________________________________________________________
