Pietenpol-List: definition of sweep

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: MacklemAW(at)aol.com
I had a question as to what I meant by sweep of the axle. The sweep is how farback from the center of the front landing gear attach point the axle is located.If the axle had zero sweep, it would be located directly under the centerof the front landing gear attach fitting with the fuselage leveled longitudinally.A 5 inch sweep would have the axle mounted directly beneath a point 5 inchesaft of the center of the from landing gear attach point.Chris Bobka ----- Original Message -----
