Default RE: Cessna Retracts

I'll have to take some pics at work, I maintain 3 cessna RG's a P210 a regular 210 and a 172RG Cutlass (Gutless) LOL The mechanism is so simple it is ingenious but hard to explain. it is a simple swing and the angle of the pivot makes it work similar to the Grumman wing fold. I'll see what I can do. Also check out the cessna owners association for pic's/info. the actuators run from front to rear with a separate hydraulic up and down lock which locks each leg into each seat when extended or retracted.
