7.3 Landing gear
A retractable tricycle type landing gear is used, equipped by
steerable 11x4" nose wheel and a 14x4” Beringer main wheel with
hydraulic disc brakes.
The front undercarriage is retracted backwards into a wheel-well
behind the firewall. The main landing gear is retracted into the
center-wing.
Main landing gear
The legs of main landing gear are composed of steel tubes and
sheets welded together. The main steel parts are hardened. The
legs are hinged on two brackets with ball bearings between center-
wing spars. The legs are retracted to fuselage bays.
The main undercarriage hinge joints are equipped with bronze
bearings with grease-caps. Shock absorbers are attached to the
root ribs. The trailing arm is twisted towards the main leg on
retraction, resulting in reduced center-wing span.
