7781 9oz available from lots of places. I have found that Aircraft Spruce usually has the best price/yd. I order the 50" wide stuff. A little easier to handle cutting. Fisker rotary cutter works well as does any quality set of scissors. I ordered peel-ply from Fiber Glast and am not happy with ...

Thanks.
I have your KP article printed out and saved in a file folder for the day I need to put in the static ports. Great work. Very helpful.

For those of you still building or thinking of upgrading: I'm installing Garmin G3x Touch. I was looking for push-to-connect tubing and fittings for my pitot, static and AOA. Stein Air was one place many RV builders mentioned. And of course McMaster-Carr. I came across Automation Direct www.automati...

I guess your gear is different than the one piece aluminum gear I have. I've never see any flaring of any kind for main gear. You could make one without much trouble. Since it would not be load bearing you could use any fiber glass cloth and polyester resin (auto store).
