Mike,
        I'm not sure what is available from Aircraft Spruce, but the one
---From Flight Crafters is very nice. The one that Bob designed utilizes
some modifications and beefing up of the area under the seat.  You can
contact Bob and he will provide you with some pix (I hope) of the
internals so you can mount the gear unit.  See if  Bob will get you some
new pix of his lovely bird.  The modifications is reasonable in cost.  I
was present for the original drop tests on his new gear.  It is plenty
strong!!!!  The design mimics the position of the wheel of the
Mono-wheel.  Both in vertical and longitudinal positioning.  So it
matches the original design for cg reasons.
