LANDING GEAR
STANDARD SKID LANDING GEAR
The 430 standard skid landing gear is simple, light weight, and practically maintenance
free. It is designed to absorb energy and to preclude damage to the airframe in the
event of a hard landing. The gear is designed for energy attenuation of descent speeds
up to 2.0 meters per second (6.55 feet per second) by elastic deflection of the
forward
and aft cross tubes. Yielding of the crosstubes, beyond normal operating limits, in
combination with elastic deflection, further attenuates energy up to 2.44 meters per
second (8.02 feet per second).
