SDTooPilot Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 At Rough River, several Longs had a retracting step mounted just ahead of the instrument panel and just over the lower longeron. I took several pics, but neglected the most important info---dimensions!! Anyone have any drawings or ?? Quote Marl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spodman Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Have seen a few different approaches to this, but having tried them don't think I'll bother with the step. Load the pax (if any) and extend the gear half way and the plane won't tip. Climb in easily without the step and extend the gear the rest of the way. Punch "Cozy retractable step" into your search engine of choice and all sorts of things pop up! http://www.cozybuilders.org/chapters/Retract_Step.html http://www.canardzone.com/forum/topic/17669-retractable-step/ http://www.ez.org/canardpages/pages/bittner/index.html#step Quote Mark Spedding - SpodmanDarraweit Guim - AustraliaCozy IV #1331 - Chapter 09www.mykitlog.com/Spodmanwww.sites.google.com/site/thespodplane/the-spodplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
