  Hi Brian,

If you're interested, I've got a -6/-7/-9 dynafocal mount & gear legs 
from a flying RV-6 that I won't be needing. One leg has a slight bend, 
it can easily straightened in a press. I bought them intending to use 
them for my mount & keep the ones from the kit as my fallback plan, but 
decided to just use the kit pieces since I'd already fit everything to 
the plane.

How does $500 plus shipping sound? (Just trying to recover some of my 
investment.) If I make it to KY & they will fit in the plane, I'll 
deliver them there if you wish.

Charlie
