1.11 Landing Gear
The main landing gear consists of two special steel spring-leaf struts positioned crossways to fuselage for elastic cushioning
of landing loads.
The two steel spring-leaf struts are attached to the fuselage underside via the main girder.
Two rawhide liners are inserted between each spring-leaf and the girder. Two bolts and nuts secure the individual spring-
leaf to the edge of the girder via a light alloy clamp while a single bolt and nut secures the inboard end of the leaf-spring to
the girder.
