For those who went with the Grove gear, what is the credit Van's gives for not getting their gear legs?

Seems like it was about $500. I was kind of surprised at the low-ness of the credit. Especially considering the comparative cost of the Grove replacements. That being said, the Grove Gear are *really* nice. Just don't get the plane sideways or you'll be building a whole new fuselage. Ask me how I know... ;-/

Shoot - that is small compared to the Grove price tag.

Thanks,
Carl

Note that you can also delete the fiberglass fairings and other associated bit and pieces which will add up to a few more dollars. Ease of installation, not having to mess around with yet more fiberglass, and the totally sweet plumbing for the brake lines make the Grove gear a no-brainer, IMHO.

Thanks Matt.

With the 8A gone the Navy Pilot son is a little pissed as he had his eye on
it. He is somewhere in WestPac on the Nimitz now and at least 7 years or so
away from being in a place to own his own plane so I'm looking to build him
an RV-8. This will be the third build so I may need him to talk the wife
into this deal.
