A36 Landing Gear

jbone392

Hello! Thank you for bringing such a complete, excellent aircraft to the sim! Many hours of enjoyment flying it. I was wondering why the model appears to have Baron landing gear (tires and wheels)? I assume development commonality with your Baron but just curious. Certainly not a detraction but was wondering if that would ever be changed or optioned in a future update. Thank you again!

I cant remember the year but the later model A36's and Barons share pretty much the same landing gear with one another. The landing gear on an A36 is actually pretty overkill and beefy for it since it is basically the same gear you have on a baron.

Absolutely! Comes in handy for my less than soft landings. Thanks for the response. I worded the post incorrectly, I was referring to the wheels. The A36 IRL has a 6 in hub with wider tires compared to the 8in Baron wheels with a taller thinner tire. The model seems to share the Baron wheels across all variants. Maybe it was already discussed but I saw that the Black Square house livery closely resembles the "Ultimate Bonanza" refurbished A36's. Pretty cool machine and sure enough they were upfitted with Baron wheels. So maybe we have been flying around in MSFS with an Ultimate Bonanza all along!
