I need a horizontal stabilizer to replace the one on my experimental
SF-25 motorglider. Other parts would be welcomed as well or any other
information and drawings.
I am currently replacing the monogear with conventional gear from a
grumman tiger (with modifications)
Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Conventional gear on a Tiger ? *I thought they were all tricycle gear
with a free castoring nose wheel.

Just the main gear legs. The fiberglass legs are a litle stiffer than
the Scheibe look, but I can adjust that by carving on them and kinda
grinding a streamline contour.
The wheels are a little larger at 6.00 X 6 rather than the smaller
metric size for the Scheibe.
By the way there is a taildragger conversion for Grumman tigers
available.

While the conventional gear is heavier and draggier the book says that
you can attach one wing and it won't fall over while you are getting
the other wing on. Also you can move the A/C around on the main gear
with thw wings off.

Thanks,
