New Gear is flying

[Spook712]

My new gear I designed and built is installed and flying. Still need to install the Nanco 21x12-8 tires. Also really need to add streamlined fairings. I am working on some made from .030 Lexan. I have lost ~10MPH without the fairings.

What do you mean with "I designed and built"?
Can you just weld together a landing gear and put it on in the US?

Marc,
Here is a link with a good description of what is required for making modifications to Experimental aircraft in the US.

I know Germany has very restrictive laws. Just as an example a friend from Germany told me it requires a special permit to change to an aftermarket brake line on his motorcycle.
Where in Germany are you? I took a ride in a private plane of a business acquaintance from Mosbach Airport. We flew over the company's plant in Pfedelbach, and over Heilbronn and Heidelberg.

Hi,

I'm located close to Bonn/Cologne.

I chose the groove gear and I'm currently in the process of installing it.

Cheers,
