Thanks Larry. I think I do have the thin ones. I also have some bent gear legs that came with the plane-3?- that maybe could be straightened. They are aluminum. Right now, the plane has one bent leg. The other side has a much stiffer leg- the taper starts further down. I have new legs of the lighter type that will be installed. I asked TNK about putting steel legs on, and they advised me to stay original because a hard landing could transmit the shock up to the main frame- maybe causing very expensive problems. Very good advice from TNK, as I am very inexperienced. Like 40 years out of practice. When in doubt, go with the factory advice. Yes, they do want to sell parts- but not unless they have to. I have to check the "A" frame for cracks while I'm in there. There is also a skid plate on the nose, so I think one of the former users was in the habit of rough landings.

My Old Firestar is going to be listed on Barnstormers today as the guy that has it in MN has a problem with motion sickness and has to give up his flying
You can get a good deal on it with trailer and skis
