Landing Gear

Main Gear

The main landing gear are bolted to composite wing structure between
the wing spar and shear web. The landing gear struts are constructed
of composite material for fatigue resistance. The composite
construction is both rugged and maintenance free. The main wheels
and wheel pants are bolted to the struts. Each main gear wheel has a
15 x 6.00 x 6 tire with inner tube installed. Standard wheel pants are
easily removable to provide access to tires and brakes. Access plugs
in the wheel pants can be removed to allow tire inflation and pressure
checking. Each main gear wheel is equipped with an independent,
hydraulically operated, single-disc type brake.

Nose Gear

The nose gear strut is of tubular steel construction and is attached to
the steel engine mount structure. The nosewheel is free castering and
can turn through an arc of approximately 216 degrees (108 degrees
either side of center). Steering is accomplished by differential
application of individual main gear brakes. The tube-type nosewheel
tire is 5.00 x 5.
