Default Pawnee landing gear


Open it up and inspect fully- no matter how cold. I have found the

mounting brackets broken. You really want to take a hard look at this.
We also change bolts at least once a year.
UH

We plan to remove the bolt for a complete inspection. Just have not done so
since the late Nov annual inspt. This is a work in progress. I was just
wondering if others had seen similar problem. The gear attach points have
been inspected as well as can be done without removing the gear.

When you say that you have found the mounting brackets broken do you mean
the actual tab or the weld attaching the tab to the longeron?

Thanks for the reply Hank.
