Yes, the gear design was excellent and basically trouble-free. Many BD-5s
are considerably overweight, yet I've heard no complaints about the L.G.
Machined parts were provided in (some of) the kits, with the builder having
to trim the fiberglas struts and drill the holes in everything. The plans
set provided dimensioned drawings of all of the parts except for a few cast
pulleys. The set in my BD-5 has withstood several firm landings without
distress or need to adjust the retract cables. Incidentally, the
retract/extend time is about one or two seconds!
