I've had this gear for a while now but just haven't taken the time to install it. It's made by Airdale which used to be called AvidFlyer by a guy in Wisconsin who now owns the rights. It's 10" wider and 3" extended over stock and uses actual springs rather than bungee cords to support the aircraft. I still have to plumb the brakes but will have a report by the weekend. A big THANK YOU to Rob (Rob56) for driving over to help me out tonight. No way I could have done that by myself.

Original set up with mechanical go kart brakes and golf cart tires



After my first set of modified gear with matco brakes and a huge wheel and tire upgrade



After with the new gear

Sweet!

Now your airplane's almost as tall as your T-ota!

Looks great! and it looks functionally great too

That is really official looking Joey, nice move!

Nice!
looks all around better, both functionally and just as eye candy

Thanks guys I got my brake parts in the mail today. I should have some taxi and landing reports by Saturday.

Congrats dude... that Avid is now a very serious looking "you wanna mess with me?" airplane with attitude

I'll bet that just holding the stick back and letting it fly off three point will now give you a measurably shorter takeoff roll than you had before.

Looking forward to testing them out with you at Headquarters etc. PM Sent.
