Lancair has introduced a new option for the Evolution turboprop kit airplane called “rough service landing gear,” or RSLG for short. The new gear allows pilots to land the four-seat composite airplane at airports with unpaved runways without fear of damaging the gear.
The new landing gear option has wide 12-ply Goodyear tires, which are more durable and less likely to dig into soft surfaces. The Grove wheels and brakes are designed specifically for the Lancair Evolution. The standard gear now comes with a slightly narrower Goodyear tire, which also provides a wider contact area for better ground handling and braking grip compared with the previous tire offering.
