'Thanks for the info Jamie. Are the knuckle joints you refer to also called universals?
If so..any specs on the heavy ones? Thanks.

'David Stroud: I had trouble with the u-joints on the Landing gear so had new ones cast in 4130 steel and almost tripled the area of the web. I sent a set to John Berendt, so he could give you additional information. These are only castings and require machining and sleeves. Bill Spriggs

'Looks like I've got the heavy duty type universals on the plane. Thanks for the info guys.
A good buddy of mine is an "old style, old school" machinist and if anyone needs more
universals machined and sleeved just let me know.
