And  while Im at it, for those of you exploring alternative gear legs, 

listen  to what John H. is

trying to tell you!!  I followed his lead and made  tempered 4130 gear 

legs for my FireFly and

have forgotten about them  since.  Land in farm fields quite a bit here 

in "Amish"  country.

Terry,

 

   I have just a little over 10 hours and 60 landings, Several  with bounces 

and have not bent a leg yet. Maybe the fact that I use the  6"  wheels at low 

pressure helps absorb the shock. I built 3 prs of 4130 heat  treated  legs for 

the Firefly per your drawings,  but have not needed  them ---yet. Those 

aluminum legs seem to be pretty tough, but If I ever bend one  I have plenty 

replacement 4130 axles waiting for duty!
