from easy, to complex
OPTIONAL TRICYCLE GEAR
Tricycle gear aircraft are easier to land because the attitude required to land on the main gear is the same as that required in the flare, and they are less vulnerable to crosswinds.
The nosewheel is free swiveling and steering is accomplished through differential brake input, similar to steering amphibian floats. The tricycle gear mounts to two 2” square tubes running across the floor, and is sandwiched between four layers of skin thickness to absorb the landing loads and hold the gear steady.
INSTRUMENTS
The instrument panel has been increased in depth and rounded on top, giving even more room to customize it for your needs.
