Gear Leg Steps

This might be of interest to folks...

Years ago, I had a 170B with custom gear leg steps which were installed via a field approval. Over the years folks have asked about them from time to time. Here are the drawings if anyone is interested.

It's never enough is it... LOL

No. Plane was sold over a decade ago. Current owner is a member here. He may choose to scan and share the 337/FA but I cant speak for him.

Re: Gear Leg Steps

Seems like a decent idea, but why a field approval?
