[rebel-builders] Elite - Gear step
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:31 am
Hi Mike !
Wayne's right - that step would be too far forward to be
useful. In any case, you don't want to drill ANY holes in the
gear legs !! There was a factory bulletin years ago about
not drilling holes in the bungee gear legs - likely applies
double to the spring gear ...
If you had the rear fittings installed for the trike gear,
you might be able to mount something there ...
You DO get used to hopping in though. One handy thing is
to mount a couple of large, sturdy drawer handles on the
front carry-through tube, centered in front of the seats.

I think it would work just like the C140 does. Left leg on the step, grab
the door post, pull yourself in? And if doesn't work, clean off the
windshield.

Unless you have a tri-gear, that step.... directly under the wing
strut.....will be useless for anything but maybe cleaning your windshield.

Merry Xmas,
Still looking at my Elite trying to come up with a step to get in it.
Been
looking at a C140, they bolt a step to the gear leg. What's the consensus
here for drilling a couple 1/4" through bolt holes through the center of
each gear leg so I can bolt a wrap-around piece of aluminum to them with
a
bolt and nut?
Thanks,
Mike Betti
