I had tried to get detailed information from Van's regarding the gear leg geometry for what they sell as a "float mount", but they were unwilling to give me any. The float mount is simply a Lyc mount with both taildragger main gear sockets & tricycle nose gear socket. Atkins aviation gave me Bruce's phone #, as he had built a mount for them. Bruce was helpful and while he could provide the info I needed he also offered to build a partial mount with only the gear sockets attached and the material needed to finish the mount for a very good price. As he uses a jig to align the gear sockets, it is quick and easy for him to do this and ensures proper geometry of the landing gear. We never discussed having him do a complete mount as this was something that I wanted to do, but I suspect that it would have been considerably more $$$$ as it would be much more labour intensive working without jigs. Bruce sent my mount to Van's along with a batch for them and they included it with my finish kit shipment, so I had no additional shipping charges. I will send the .dwg files directly. S.
