John Mellor Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi Guys, After 6 years of flying my VEZ and about a 1000 uneventful arrivals,I have eventually managed a gear up landing and the nose leg was severely damaged. Could anyone please advise me where I could obtain a replacement. I have tried Featherlite and they only supply LongEZ legs, which I believe could be modified to fit. Any offer of help / advise would be very much appreciated. Thanks John. G-LASS .UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 You could try the classifieds at www.ez.org or just go with a Long-EZ nose strut. I'm sure it could be modified. A popular VariEze mod is to use Long-EZ gear anyway.

Thanks for the info Jany, I received an e-mail from Larry at Featherlite and he says that they only have the LongEZ legs. I'm going down to the field tomorrow to strip and assess the damage more thoroughly ( incident was only last Sunday ) because I may also need some metal fitting. I appreciate your help. John.
