thud and blunder: our mount is very similar to original multipurpose step which has proved to be very popular. on our design we have:
- shortened the length of our tube from the front cross tube forward, to reduce bending moment
- put identical end bosses to receive our gen II dovetail at front and rear so that, landing lights/p.a. / downlink antenna etc can be mounted on the rear of the tube
- increased wall thickness of tube
- added more height to the fwd goose neck for additional ground clearance
- goose neck is mfg from solid billet aluminum and bolted together, no welds
- delron flat step is attached to top of tube to assist entry/exit
as for c/g of external role equipment, that part is out of our hands. we are always looking for suggestions and comments from experienced operators.
p.m. if you want to see some jpegs
thanks
