| Thomas, I am just now looking into building a tri-gear (Wittman type) for the BD4. Even though the gear is mounted on the engine mount you will still have to supply structure to the lower firewall where two additional hard points have been added. You will go from four hard points to six. I have the plans for how this is done in the Tailwind. The RV plans would be more applicable to the BD4 of course. I would like to see that page from the RV plans if anyone can share it. Regards, Jerry

Any website for this???

On the 4-seater this might get a little hefty on the firewall-mounts, though...
I think someone did this already, but can't find the details anymore...
You remember anything about this?
Thomas
