Pawnee landing gear

We have fitted cable restraining straps to our two Pawnees... They save the plane and prop in most cases with this or a strut-end failure (of which we have had a couple)..... Craig Craig, what strength cable did you use and where did you find the drawings or photo o exactly where to run the cable? From crop dusters? Any help is appreciated. My Pawnee bolts sheared (actually broke) and I know of another Pawnee that also had the very same happen. This was years ago. We change the bolts now...often. I have always wanted to put the cable around the top of the gear, but never researched it, so thanks for rattling the chain. Jayne |

Pawnee landing gear
August 2017. Do you have the tech drawing or any reference which quotes the safety cable dimensions? We'd sure appreciate any info on just how long each cable should be. We have photos of cables installed on Pawnees, but need accurate length info. We operate two PA-25 Pawnee 235 as glider tugs. Dick Parker. Edmonton Soaring Club. Many thanks.
