Title: What could I expect to pay for Landing Gear Lites at the moment?
Post by: mark 2 on April 08, 2008, 12:43 PM

I'll be needing some landing gear soon but what would be a fair price to pay do you think at the moment. I know it's anyone's guess but it's worth asking, for all the varieties at that matter. There were some  unstamped regular ones on bay that failed to sell for £150, now on a BIN at £100 but they're described as a bit rough. Standing Gear too? Got some TRX, you never know they may look alright...

cheers boyo's

What would be the procedure to do that? I'm guessing cut em and insert a 1" tube, weld it and get it threaded? Are they still about £70?  A good idea but perhaps false economy for me not being able to do the work myself.

Don't forget to add the 19% VAT also the shipping and they are more like £250  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:
