    Is there any issue with heat induced metal fatigue on the landing gear since it’s sitting directly in the exhaust flow?

    • @AirplanesInTheWild
      @AirplanesInTheWild  4 місяці тому

      I’ve never heard of that being a problem. Seems pretty unlikely since this thing cruises around at 90+mph and is air cooled.

    • @iFlyAlaska-Official
      @iFlyAlaska-Official 7 місяців тому

      When I built this bird I ran an aircraft usb power supply out to the end of the wing for a camera that is switched in the panel. Then I added steel brackets to mount a pole so I could run a 360 camera a few feet in front of the wing. makes for some fun drone like shots.

    you mean a Maule?

    • @iFlyAlaska-Official
      @iFlyAlaska-Official 7 місяців тому +1

      Nope definitely a stretched Pacer. You probably know this but the Maule airplane company came about after Belford had a beef with the Piper company and then left to start his own company starting with his own version of the Pacer. Since then they have become a GREAT company. Brent and his family are still building amazing airplanes at Maule.
