Landing Gear Reinforcement and Control Bearing STCs for Cessna

Main Landing Gear Kit (“Beef-up Kit”)

FAA-STC Approved for Many Cessna 170, 180, 185, 305 (L-19) Aircraft
P/N PSK1101
Our landing gear beef-up kit is an FAA-approved modification (STC # SA2918NM), originally from P. Ponk Aviation. This beef-up kit reinforces the gearbox to handle side-load stress during hard landings or ground-loops. It greatly reduces the risk of gear failure and costly structural damage, providing stronger, more reliable performance where the original design is most vulnerable.

Outboard Landing Gear Brackets and Inboard Angles

FAA-STC Approved for Many Cessna 170, 180, 185 Aircraft
Re-engineered outboard landing gear brackets and inboard angle brackets for superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to the original Cessna parts. These FAA-approved modifications (STC # SA4170NM) reinforce the main gear box structure at the connection of the landing gear to the body of the aircraft for greater strength and durability in rugged operations. Each component is individually milled from high-strength cold-rolled aluminum for precise fit and maximum durability.

Features:

• Outboard brackets are thicker and stronger than stock, designed for right and left sides
• Inboard angles provide enhanced structural support and long-term reliability
• Both feature high-strength exterior coating for maximum corrosion resistance
• Ideal for improving landing gear durability and performance

Polymer Elevator and Rudder Bearing

FAA-STC Approved for Many Cessna 180, 182, 185, 206 Aircraft
P/N PPA1401
Advanced polymer bearings for Cessna elevator and rudder assemblies are designed for harsh, corrosive environments. This STC (SA02266AK) upgrade replaces the existing MS24462 and NAS296-4A steel roller bearings in the elevator and rudder hinges. The self-lubricating polymer provides long-lasting, maintenance-free performance, delivering smoother operation and lower operating costs over time.
