hey guys
hey guys
i was putting my shock flyer together and didn't really like how the gear was done and i have heard that it was a weak spot on the design so i came up with a new design.

let me know what you guys think.

i am also selling these if anyone is interested. they are 15.00 plus shipping

specs.
they are carbon fiber. three core layers of 4.5 oz uni carbon and one layer on each side of 5 oz carbon cloth to prevent splitting. they include stainless 2-56 screws for axles and mounting screws.

they weigh 9 grams with axles.

these can be used on pretty much any profile plane though :)

if you would like to order some just send me a pm or e-mail to liteflight@hotmail.com

Would the gear pictured above happen to be a replacement gear for the mini funtana?

yeah
they are a little bit taller than the mini funtana gear and i think i would have to do a heavier layup for that plane. cause it is kinda heavy from what i heard.
