Hey folks, I'm glad I found this group. I am the son of Kevin Gorham. The pilot killed in the GoldDuster N363J in 2008. I have just recently purchased an unfinished Acroduster kit from a friend in Michigan. Serial number 411, I believe. The goal for this new Duster is to rebuild dad's GoldDuster. The kit that I purchased came with a spring aluminum gear, but it does not have the radius blocks or any paperwork on how to install the spring aluminum gear correctly per Grove's recommendation. I do, however still have dad's old custom (undamaged) spring aluminum gear as well as al of the mounting blocks and hardware, that I fully intend to use. I cant find any of the logbooks or paperwork on that landing gear or how it was installed. I've spoken with Kendall as well as Don Adamson and have a general idea of how it needs to be done. I am just looking to see if anybody has any photos or documents that could clear up a grey area.


Thanks, Chandler
