Aeronca Landing Gear Test

[@jeffreykiss5855]

That pilot sure knew exactly where his 3-point attitude was!

I believe this was testing the new "no bounce" landing gear that the Army required for the L-16 series. The testing was done to make sure it was up to Army specs.

[@jeffreykiss5855]

You can sure see the "no bounce". They're really slamming that thing down, and it sure sticks to the ground!

Brilliant video

"Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing"

[@turnerator21]

Aeronca has a wonderful landing gear design - like landing in a pillow

GOOD TEST

[@kr6dr]

That is one tough landing gear!

[@deadstick8624]

Yeah, Testing the Landing Gear, I guess that's one excuse that you could use.

[@samburkes7552]

Yeah. .That's the ticket!!

To cool

[@GeorgeRichmond-rm7cw]

You mean those aren't normal? Mine all look like that.

[@SyphenHouse]

The no bounce and regular gear look the same when all retracted. You can only really tell when they are extended. The no bounce really hang low.

Really? That's it?
