Is anyone out there with a tri-gear willing to share the recorded weights of their three wheels? Two main gear weights and the nosegear weight. Your assistance in sharing these weights would help me assess the viability of my current "rough" setup. I just need a frame of reference for GENERAL weight adjustment. Not planning on using the info for final weight and balance issues! Would certainly appeciate anyone's help. I also think this would be very useful info for anyone building a trigear. Does anyone have this kind of info on file? If so, please indicate which model/series you own. It would be helpful to me because I have major weight/balance issues caused by addition of Corvair engine/BRS chute/special manifold mods/etc. John Sandt
