The Innovative Articulated-Knee, Shock-Absorbing landing gear is designed to absorb the distresses and to shield the airframe form damage associated with rough landings. Making the pilot look like a “Landing Pro” is just a bonus. The springs also take up much of the normal shock and vibration associated with taxing on rough surfaces, such as grass fields, thus protecting the landing gear mounts.

The Trailing Link Configuration can swing more than ¾ of the wheel diameter, thus providing a very dynamic range of shock absorbing travel. The spring gear is designed to fit directly over existing 5/32” to 3/16” wire gear and to easily attach to standard retract mechanisms. The landing gear is designed for six (6) to twelve (12) planes

Spring Gear is available in sets of::
• Two Mains and a Nose/tail
• Two Mains
• Nose / Tail

The gear is designed to accommodate 2-3/4” diameter (max) wheels on the mains and 2-1/2” diameter (max) wheels on the Nose gear. Smaller wheel may also be used.
