3.3. Retractable landing gear
The ANT trike is equipped with manually retractable landing gear.
Grate advantage of retractable landing gear is transportation – the disassembled trike with landing gear
retracted can be easily fitted in its transportation bag inside of ordinary car.
The rear wheels can also be retracted to aid in drag reduction.
The retractable landing gear is simple and easy to operate.
To retract the landing gear on the ground (in case the ultralight is dismantled for storage, the wing and
the engine must be removed from the trike) do the following. Lift the rear of the trike up (best done with
an assistant), open the lock
(Fig. 1) and fold the landing gear struts forward one by one. Pivot the struts
forward until they rest in the retracted position on the locks
(Fig. 2).

The dismantled for storage trike with the landing gear retracted can easily fit into the boot or cabin of
most cars.
To open the landing gear, pull the handle to open the landing gear lock
(Fig. 3). Manually position the
landing gear struts one after the other into the landing position and lock them in the opened position
with the lock lever
(Fig. 4). Be careful not to injure your fingers while locking the landing gear.
