Landing gear weight

Post by 6781 »

Does anyone know where to find the weight of the landing gear that Cessna put on the original planes in 46? That would include tail wheel assemble as well.

Thanks

Thanks for that, your very kind, but eventually(very soon)I will get the actual weight of mine. Was just thinking there might be some info on it some where.

Thanks again, great forum!

...sounds like a "major project" underway :?: -- keep us posted/share as you're progressing. No doubt we all agree that it's a great forum & super resource. And, incidentally, in addition to Rob's hard work on the site and truly expert/regular contributors here, we're blessed with excellent moderators with the latest volunteer mod, "John C", bringing even more valuable experience, expertise and insight -- again, I know we all agree!
