What is your project, Pacer or Cub? You would be better off selling the Pacer gear and buying Super Cub gear with the profit. Pacer gear is $1100 each and a lot different from Cub gear. The gear fittings are way closer together on a Pacer vs a Cub plus the way the hydrosorb attaches. Cub gear is much more robust for off field work. In fact there is an STC to install Cub gear on the Pacer. http://trimmeraviation.com/gear.html
The project is the converted tripacer. I know the gear are different. I was only going to use the pacer gear to make a jig. I don't want the fairings and holes in the bottom to let in water. The obsorbtion will be external like the cub. I just need something to build from if you could help with some pics. Die spring or bungee. Which is best. Is "best" an opinion, I don't know. The guys around here really value your input. I could use some of that input at this point.
As for the pacer gear, they are the original gear. I offered them to a guy for 300 bucks for the pair and he said no thanks.

If you have the hydrosorb units from the Tri-Pacer/Pacer I would use them and bungees just like a Super Cub. These pictures are of Steve Bryant's Producer. I think he is using the front gear fitting like a Pacer and the rear gear fitting from the Tri-Pacer and making a gear with attach points farther apart. You should be able to sell a good set of Pacer not Tri-Pacer gear for well over $300. If you dont have any takers I will buy it. Just spent a day rebuilding a wrecked one.

Another Producer with Cub type gear.
Thanks Steve,
Do you have any pics of the structure showing details for me to build from. The last shot of the gear shows a 3rd tube on the gear. Did I see this correctly. The attach structure for the bungee/hydrosorb leaves a question also. I don't think I have anything locally to look at. Maybe you have some shots way back on your hard drive.

Do you have the Northland Super Cub drawing CD?
bungee drawing 12998
google Christian Sturm supercub project, go to his site, hit the drawings button, accept, enter 12998 into the search box and that is I think what you are looking for. You can also enter either "landing gear" or "shock" in the search box for other drawings of the gear. Hope this helps. dave

For as little as $25 you can help support the site, keep it going and get a wiener by your name which tells others you are a monetary contributor. http://www.supercub.org/sim/newdon.php
