You are not going to see steel landing gear on a VariEze, I can virtually guarantee it. And Island do you really think that you know more than Burt Rutan?
Your buddy Mo think he knows more than the Porsche engineering department.
You guys crack me up, but not in the way you think.

oh George... Mo gave some solid info and you respond with insult, suggesting he's "
content with a life of monkey see, monkey do."
-nice.
Then I give you more solid input and you strive to insult me AND Mo.
But at least you shout loudly from your position of ignorance.
Of course there are many other materials used in landing gear. And some people have made roll cages out of PVC pipe. So what's the point? One could even argue that a PVC roll-cage will do nothing but add
some protection. And so what?
If you want an aluminum roll-bar, go for it. They polish up nicely. Just don't go insulting people who actually know (and help provide for free) the nuances of materials and engineering.
