I forgot his name but he advertises on the airboat web site. It's called
"Outlaw Aircraft Engines" He is in south Lakeland off the west end of the
airport (Linder).
I don't remember the Whitman geared BD-4. I was thinking about a Cessna
main gear, but I found a complete assembly at Sun&Fun and I could not pick
it up. So, I forgot about it.
If you like to design stuff, the Stinson gear assembly absorbs tremendous
(bad landings)
loads, and has a shock and coil over assembly. With a bell-crank you could
do a rising rate system with the shocks end to end in the gear box. Just a
thought. There was an early Stinson like an S-10 or close to that, it was more a
cub sized plane, and that gear looked a bit smaller.
