jackc Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Looking for pics please on Aeropup Main Undercarriage legs, seems there could be variations over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_C Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Best I could do remotely, I can take better photos in a few days if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackc Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 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, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey_C Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I see they doing the 22" shaved tundra in a tubeless design now too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackc Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_C Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackc Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
