That is EXACTLY what I was thinking after hearing that the YAK mains were not completely metal under the plastic;)

It is presently configured as the tail gear that I took off the Seagull Models A-1 Skyraider that was lost in the NEFI Triangle in 2016. :(

And I do have experience with the T-45 mains from over 2 years ago when I used the right main as a nose gear for the FL Tigercat ;)
Since I run off a grass strip it was a must have for me to do the optional (Oleo) Shock Absorbing Upgrade Landing Gear Set. The mains are rock solid from all
Now the ol' chemobrain is churnin:PWarbird Charlie

I’ve got my motors and props and spinners worked out. The FMS 1400 Zero spinners are 60mm. Near perfect. I’m using the FMS F8F props. The hubs are the same thickness as the Zekes 13/9 blades, but you must grind down the Tiger cat prop hubs to fit the spinner. The screw spacing is also different, so i used the outer most screws to mount and re-drilled the inner screw thru the prop hub. I used a Dremel drill press. Easy cheesy lemon :Cool:squeezy.5 Photos
