Landing Gear question

[Jimmy M.]

Hi folks,
How does L-19 gear compare to 170 or early 180 gear??
I'm looking at ski flying this winter and don't have gear yet,there seems to be a few
sets of L-19 gear legs available.
Thanks once again for any help......................Jim

The L-19 used a completely different set of drawing numbers than the 180/185 series, strongly indicating they are not the same. Sorry not to have the specific data on them.

Can one, buy new 170 gear anywhere?

Thanks George,
I better wait till I find early 180 or late 170 gear. (they sure look good in the pictures tho )

Made of titanium, yes, but only if you can determine the present location of the stock belonging to the former XP Mods

From what I have heard, that maybe as hard to do as buying a new pair from Cessna!

I seem to remember hearing that the Titanium gear legs were priced at about $6000.

I have a pair of Axle forward C-180 legs, p/n 0741001-3 & -4, that I'd sell for $2200 that will do the same thing.

As I remember the price you only get one leg for $6,000. Most of us would have trouble landing with that.

L-19 gear and C-170B "Lady Leg" gear

The gear looks very similar except for the length.

I have a pair of gear legs that I have not identified yet. Maybe I could post a picture (yeh, I can post pictures now), and alond with some measurements, somebody might be able to identify???? They would definately be for sale.

No, George, I didn't. I have a lot of stuff that never entered my mind as having value (cause after all, I might need it someday????, and thus, never considered selling). So, I haven't paid much attention until recently, and I have not identified these gear legs because of this reason. I'll check them in the morning at my "other home" . (The Hangar)
