Hi Bob,

Yep, the brace is being considered right now. It'll be installed in the next few weeks... We have to run some tests to confirm that it is required. René and I have to check that. He told me already that it was a sure possibility that we needed it.

Thanks for the comment. It sure is reassuring to get security comments; nobody wants to get into a problematic situation.

Regards,

Normand

Norm consider a cross brace between the lower front support and the top rear landing gear mounting bracket. I have seen the main gear "rotate" in that attachment fitting under heavy braking forces while mounted on tires. This cross brace also makes a great place to mount a step to assist entry & exit of the cockpit.
