Brief Description:  Replacement Grove Airfoiled Gear Arrive

Yahoo! The first parts for the Rebuild arrived today! The new set of Grove Airfoiled landing gear are as much a work of art as the first set were! Absolutely beautiful. This time, however, I noted that they included real aero nuts for installing the various plates and mounts. The first time through, they included these weird stamped steel nuts that had a very short shoulder on them and inside the tight quarters of the landing gear towers were nearly impossible to get a socket over and tighten. These new style nuts should make the gear installation much easier. Let's hope the rest of the rebuild goes as well!
