Gang:

I went ahead and ordered a gun-drilled Grove landing gear for my 601XL-TD. I figure that this is the easiest 15+ pounds I'll ever save in the plane! Anyway, I would be really interested in hearing from any other folks who have installed the Grove gear, especially as to what kind of spacers you used to position the gear fore-aft, how you torqued the main bolts, how you fixed it laterally, and if you made any other changes to the Zenith mounts, e.g. used the Grove radius blocks, etc.

For those of you unfamiliar, the Grove 7075-T6 gear is more than 3 inches narrower than the Zenith 6061 T6 gear. And unlike the cold-bent Zenith gear, the Grove gear is cut and machined in the -T6 state, then annealed and bent, then re-heat treated in two stages.

Thanks,
