FWIW I talked to "Tailwheel Tom" Anderson of the Landing Gear Works today at the NW aviation show. he confirmed that his outfit is the ones producing the ti axles. He also produces ti gear legs. He had a great display item-- the very tail end of a Cessna 180/185 with tailspring & 14" XP Mods tailwheel mounted, close-coupled to a Cessna MLG gear box with his titanium gear legs complete with wheels & brakes. The whole works was only about 5 feet long, with probably $20K worth of gear legs springs axles t/w's wheels & brakes.
