I thought some might be interested in seeing exactly what the Grove
Aluminum Airfoiled landing gear for the RV-8 look like. They are a
work of art! Very beautiful indeed. Notice the predrilled holes for
the brake lines.

They're not cheap, but they are really very nice. The weight savings
forward of the CG is certainly something to consider as well. Any
any decrease in fiberglass work is worth the price of admission, in
my book... Wink

Best regards,

Hi,
I used these on my 8 and am quite pleased. N542E has 61 hours now since April 11th.
Best to All,
Ed Clegg
