jackc Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Looking for pics please on Aeropup Main Undercarriage legs, seems there could be variations over time? Link to post Share on other sites
Thruster88 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I don't know anything about Aeropup but an acquaintance had a U/C collapse on one when the tension rod failed at a welded tube to lug joint. It appeared that most of the weld had been ground off to make it look pretty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It appeared that most of the weld had been ground off to make it look pretty. My problem is, the legs are not symmetrical even though the manufacturing jig has allegedly not changed. My aircraft was ground looped by a previous owner as was subsequently repaired with a replacement leg, which has different camber and toe out that is visually obvious. I am working on getting another leg or have it repaired. Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey_C Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Best I could do remotely, I can take better photos in a few days if required. Link to post Share on other sites
jackc Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Thanks for pics, see you are fitting a disc brake kit, too. I have a Black Max one to go on but I need to sort out my existing problem. Aeropup are making me a new right side leg to match the replacement they fitted to the left side that they replaced when the previous owner ground looped the machine.

Mikey_C Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Yeah I used Blackmax as well, good little setup. I'll let you know how well it works as soon as I know. Link to post Share on other sites
jackc Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Thanks! Once I get my current problem sorted then I can look at doing mine......have to get my 21” tyres too 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey_C Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I see they doing the 22" shaved tundra in a tubeless design now too :) Link to post Share on other sites
jackc Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 My rims are 2 piece ones so I will fit the tubes.......bit expensive but should be better than Bunnings Aerospace wheel barrow tubes 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey_C Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Less chance of tearing a valve off with tubeless, only thing better is the full blown one piece bushwheels :D The black max rims are two piece with an o-ring seal for tubeless tyres. Link to post Share on other sites
jackc Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Must have good look at my rims, just opened box to see what was in it, did you get the dual master cyl or the single one? Link to post Share on other sites
