That's definitely interesting. I can tell you that Airframes gear uses the same cabane but the shock struts and gear are extended 3" directly outwards on the front gear leg tube. The front gear leg tube goes from 27" to 30" in length so it's a straight outward/downward extension. Same at Atlee as that's basically what everyone else copied except perhaps TK.
I'm wondering if the reason TK specs a different cabane is for the shocks themselves. When we first tested the ACME shocks the upper attach point was too large to fit into a normal cabane and then they changed the upper eye to be offset to fit standard cabanes. I wonder if TK ran into similar issues and just made their own cabane with the shock attach spaced differently.
