10.1 LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
The airplane is equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear.
Main gear track
2.13 m
Main wheel
– Nose wheel base
1.585 m
The main gear assembly consists of a main spar, made of steel tube and bolted at four
points to the fuselage structure (hidden by the cockpit floor).
The gear leg, made of high strength spring steel (model code: 2E1000024) is installed
into the gear spar and bolted. Main gear shock absorption is by the elasticity of the leg.
Each wheel of the main gear is equipped with a disk brake.
The nose gear is installed on the firewall and connected to a strengthened frame on the
front fuselage. It is made of a steel construction supporting the oil / spring shock strut.
Nose wheel mechanical steering is by the rudder pedals, it can turn 30º to each side.
The undercarriage legs and wheels utilize composite construction aerodynamic fairings.
The fairings are easy to remove for landing gear and tire inspection.
10.2 BRAKE SYSTEM
Hydraulically operated disk brakes are installed on each main wheel. Both brakes are
actuated simultaneously by a single hand operated master cylinder, located in the cockpit
between the seats and can be operated from either seat. The braking force can be
adjusted by the amount of pull on the brake lever.
A second small lever that swivels on the main brake lever provides the parking brake
function. This small lever locks the main brake lever and the master cylinder fully ON, this
allows the pilot to perform engine run up checks without necessarily holding the brake by
hand.
