The Swiss Undercarriage

June 2022 Update:

The Swiss undercarriage option designed by Luc Job is no longer available for purchase.  But there are a number of examples flying (LAA MOD 10396) and to support them with knowledge, Kenneth Fraser has made the full instruction manual available to Club Members to download (see link below).  LAA Inspector Duncan MacFadyean operates a Europa with the undercarriage in the UK and has a full set of high quality CAD drawings (on paper) to supplement this manual.  Duncan also has extensive knowledge about the layups and hands-on ‘how-to’ experience.

 

Please note:  (1) For UK/LAA jurisdiction owners, section 3.8 of this manual is not applicable as it was never accepted by the LAA, and (2) whilst at the time it did not reveal any concerning results, the UK LAA issued an AD to check for evidence of bending of the forward lift pins.
