Hi All Mono-guys...
I have Bob Berube's kit for future conversion which includes hardpoints
under the seat/thigh supports. I've weighed the hardware and 3/4"
plywood at 7 lb. 2 oz. plus there would be some additional resin and
glass...and it's decision time as to whether or not to go ahead and
install it.

Are there any of you out there who wish you'd added 10# to acft. wgt.
in order to have the option of easily converting to conventional
landing gear?

Comments appreciated,

Fred

Fred,

I have the airframe part of the kit already installed, attachment points
etc. Do you have the gear assembly etc?

Steve...I probably purchased (about a year ago) just what you've
installed; at the time, Bob was not selling the complete package citing
difficulties in ordering individual gear legs. As I recall, he had been
quoting about $4500 USD for the complete set up but not including wheel
pants which, I believe are the ones he originally made up which have
been adopted by Europa for the tri-gear...an expense which I'd just as
soon avoid at present.
