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.

Product description

High performance retractable landing gear. This bigger version features two large tires to support big and heavy planes. The longer assembly allows for improved ground clearance.
