The LY-50 Medium Landing Gear is a landing gear part introduced in version 1.0.
The LY-50 is meant to be a nose-wheel supplement to the LY-99 Large Landing Gear, however it can also be used as a main wheel.
When LY-50 landing gear is used as the main gear assembly, using the LY-10 Small Landing Gear part as a nose wheel gets tricky (as the LY-10s are noticeably shorter than the LY-50). However, mounting the LY-10 under the fuselage, and the LY-50s under the wings, and using the "move gizmo" to raise the LY-50 gear a little works fairly well.
