S sjhurlbut Well Known Member Nov 9, 2017 #1 Anyone drill the standard Vans gear in place and then swap out for the Grove Airfoil gear at a later time? Is this a simple unbolt-bolt swap? Looks like the production of the airfoil gear is a very long time and I need to proceed.

I doubt it will be much different - the main thing I noticed is that the grove gear is thicker - I believe that the holes are in the same place. I'll bet you a nickel you won't change them out once you have installed the van's gear and are flying.
