FIGURE 3 – TRANSVERSE BEAMS CLEARANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to Figure 3 for recommended clearances to transverse beams. If a transverse beam is located
under the forward brace, it must be 3” (76 mm) from the edge of the saddle beams to provide the
necessary clearance for the swing of the motor power cable during gyro precession. Clearances aft of
the gyro are shown to provide access for maintenance.
