two main wheels, and wheel fairings. Shock absorption is provided by
the tubular spring-steel main landing gear struts and the air/oil nose gear

The baggage compartment consists of the area from the back of the

When loading the airplane, children should not be placed or permitted in
the baggage compartment, unless a child's seat is installed, and any ma-
terial that might be hazardous to the airplane or occupants should not be
placed anywhere in the airplane. For baggage area dimensions, refer to
