From: "Richard Parker" Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 06:00:50 PDT X-Message-Number: 5 The last time I talked to Deihl about 2 months ago they told me that they had changed the angle of the nose dragger main gear because it was so far back that people were having a hard time getting the nose of the ground. Originally the mains were the same for both versions and you mounted them on the front of the spar for taildragger and on the rear for a nose dragger. I dont know when the change was made effective but if you have the older gear those extra 2 cylinders out front arent going to help the situation.
