The '''LY-35 Medium Landing Gear''' is a landing gear part introduced in version 1.0.

The '''LY-35 Medium Landing Gear''' is a [[landing gear]] part. As its name implies, it is larger than the [[LY-10 Small Landing Gear]], but smaller than the [[LY-60 Large Landing Gear]].
 
 
The LY-35 is meant to be a nose-wheel supplement to the [[LY-60 Large Landing Gear]], however it can also be used as a main wheel.
 
 
 
When LY-35 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-35). However, mounting the LY-10 under the fuselage, and the LY-35s under the wings, and using the "move gizmo" to raise the LY-35 gear a little works fairly well.

Usage

Like other landing gear parts (like the LY-10 Small Landing Gear), the LY-35 Medium Landing Gear is used as a wheel to allow planes (and other vehicles) to roll on the ground. Unlike rover wheels, landing gear do not have motors, and the vehicle must be powered some other way, such as a jet or rocket engine.

The LY-35 Medium Landing Gear is the largest landing gear that can steer.

The LY-35 works well with both the LY-10 Small Landing Gear and the LY-60 Large Landing Gear on 1.25m and Mk2 craft. When used with the LY-10, the LY-35 acts as the main gear (mounted halfway up the fuselage, typically where the wings are located), while the LY-10 acts as the nose gear (mounted on the bottom of the fuselage). When used with the LY-60, the LY-35 is instead used as the nose gear, while the LY-60 acts as the main gear.

On a Mk3 craft, the LY-35 can be used as a nose gear alongside the LY-99 Extra Large Landing Gear as the main gear.
