Europa-List: Outrigger legs

[Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@yahoo.com>]

Just curious why the full depth available in OR1 and the wheel fork are
not utilized by the nylon legs. The nylon rod is inserted only part way
into the sockets and the bolt holes are drilled just 5mm from the rod
ends. This design seems a bit strange to me.

I am thinking of buying slightly longer rods and using the full socket
lengths for better support of the legs. 

Also, why nylon? It would seem that a hollow aluminum tube or even PVC
might provide better strength and ligher weight.
