Default Landing gear legs

Hi Guys,

I need to make up some gear skates for my RV6 so I can fit it into an enclosed trailer, what diameter are the legs at the point where they go into the engine mount.

Cheers,

Nick..

...and is 1.375 inches +0.000 - 0.001 for a -6 into the motor mount

If it's a -6A nose gear, it's 1.250 inches, same tolerance...

Thanks Gil..

Do you know how far up the outside tube the legs insert, also what size fasteners hold the leg in place, Unfortunately I don't have any drawings yet so I'm trying to make the leg skates on the hop.

cheers,

Nick..
