32-10 MLG AND BRAKES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The main landing gear (see fig.1) consists of two special steel spring-leaf struts (1) positioned
crossways to fuselage for elastic cushioning of landing loads.
Each spring-leaf (1) is connected to the fuselage via two keelsons (2,3). Two leather spacers
(4,5) are inserted between each spring-leaf and the keelsons. Two bolts (7) and nuts secure the
individual spring-leaf to the edge of the outer keelson (2) via a light alloy tie (6) while a
single bolt (8) and nut secures the inboard end of the leaf-spring to inner keelson (3).
