Manual Gear Extension

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

This video shows the landing gear motor and worm gear in the cockpit floor. It is just forward of the two seats in the middle. I have removed the quick release panel to show how to disconnect the push pull cables from the worm gear.

Worm Gear Disconnect

This video shows the gear motor and worm gear in the down postion. I disconnected it to show how much pressure is needed and the angled slot on the worm gear end.

This shows the worm gear drive during gear retraction and then extension. You can see the two main gear push rods on the left in the video. On the right or forward of the torque tube is the push pull cable that connects to the nose gear [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dtCNYrNLZs[/youtube]

Landing Gear Retraction

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Back when I was training, I took several videos showing the gear retraction process. This video shows all three gear at once and how they all are in sync.  This is due to the push pull cables that are all connected to the worm gear. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwEXnFjcjJs[/youtube]
