2strokemerc Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) We had one of the big boys jacked up last week. Had to do a gear swing for a landing gear snag. Notice how the main gear is tilted up when fully down but rotates so it will fit into the opening. Not sure how that is done. We were too busy so I couldn't look at the mechanism to see how it works.

The jacks have to be levelled before it can be lifted. Takes two guys per jack to go up and then down. And lots of time to set them up and remove them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N cool pics. seems like hydraulics would do that? the same that would help keep them "rigid" once the plane lands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want it, but you could also get a neon yellow, orange or some cherry metallic looking job for the same price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
