I am rebuilding a badly damaged KitFox II, S/N 89.  One of the  

problems is that the right landing gear was partially rebuilt, and is  

not the same as the left landing gear, which was undamaged.  I would  

like to avoid building a jig to make a new gear, and wondered if  

anyone had a gear available, and in good condition.  I don't need the  

tire, wheel, or brakes.  Alternatively, does anyone have a drawing,  

sketch, or the necessary dimensions to allow me to make a new one?

Mike,



First I would contact John Mc Bean as he might be able to make you one.

secondly if that  fails I will get you some measurements possibly from 

blueprints I have for a Kitfox 1 clone.

thirdly I can build you one if it the same.  I have most jigs for the KF 1 

Clone .

Correction they might be for a model 3. I don't know if it will fit. I 

can measure them up to see if they will work.

Alan,

Thanks for the response.

I would be interested in the gear, if it will fit.  If you can send  

me some dimensions, and a picture, I can figure out whether they will  

work.  Also, I have some indication that the KF# gear has a wider  

track, which would contribute to stability.  If I need to make some  

changes to the fuselage to fit the gear, or relatively modest changes  

to the gear, I can do so.  I am replacing a lot of the tube structure  

in that part of the fuselage anyway.  (Actually, my friend who is an  

A&P, and a certified PV welder will do the work).
