Landing Gear Handle
Note the gear is down and locked when it is forward of the locking tab and flush against the cockpit side. CAP L-23s are normally flown with the gear down. However, your before landing check should always include the landing gear position. If the L-23 is inadvertently landed with the gear up the underside of the fuselage will not be damaged, however with the gear up no shock absorption will be present and a hard landing could result in damage to the aircraft. |
