My Hi-Max suffered some damage to the main wood landing gear struts with a hard landing. Nose wheel unn affected. The hinge connection on both sides deformed and the braces put a Bend in the axle. Would like to replace with new gear of 6061 aluminum with either spring or bunji cord shock absorbers. Weight and cost are a problem thats why aluminum tube, also a design using bolted connections would eliminate welding.
Lookiing for a replacement design that has been successful. Gross TO weight is 520 lbs. Wheels are 5" nylon with tire and tube, and Band brakes. Of concern is the attachment to the lower Longerons.
Thanks
