1 GENERAL
The main wheels are of aluminum construction and are designed to be used with tires and
tubes. The approved tire sizes are 6.00 x 6, 8.00 x 6, 8.50 x 6, 26" Airstreak, and 29" Airstreak.
Each main wheel is provided with a set of single disc brakes. The left and right systems are
independent of each other. There is a valve at the front of each rudder pedals that operate the
parking brake. The units form an integral part with the copilot's rudder brakes. To operate the
parking brake, press the upper section of both rudder pedals and toggle the valve (vertical is
open, horizontal is locked). The master cylinders push hydraulic fluid to the calipers where two
pistons are displaced and force the brake linings against a disc. Each main wheel utilizes a
Grove 6.00x6 caliper, secured by a four-hole backing plate.
The tailwheel swivels through 360 degrees and is steerable via the rudder pedals. It is mounted
to the fuselage with steel spring leafs.
