A tricycle undercarriage was fitted, with the nosewheel retracting forwards. Its fixed tricycle undercarriage has spring cantilever main legs and a castoring nosewheel. A retractable nosewheel undercarriage was to be fitted. A tricycle landing gear with steerable nosewheel was envisioned. The landing gear includes a steerable nosewheel. The aircraft has a fixed tricycle undercarriage with the nosewheel offset to the left. The small tailwheel is much lighter and much less vulnerable than a nosewheel. The rudder actuation system also drives the full-time mechanical nosewheel steering for ground operations. A front-to-back keel mounts a steerable nosewheel, seat, engine, and a vertical stabilizer. The high-wing monoplane has fixed tricycle landing gear, with a castering nosewheel. The landing gear was changed to a tricycle configuration with a manually retractable nosewheel. The conventional landing gear arrangement has disadvantages compared to nosewheel aircraft. It had a single nosewheel and fully retractable landing gear. Dual-wheel, trailing link, main landing gear is provided, with digital nosewheel steering facilitating tight turns. The captain attempted to correct that drift with the use of the nosewheel tiller.
