Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Looks like a device that protects the fuselage against damage caused by dirt/stones thrown up by the nosegear when taking off from or landing on dirt strips..Poldriver wrote:What is it what this plane carry' s on it's nosewheel?
There's probably a very nice technical name for it....

Officially it is called a gravel deflector part of the Gravelkit, as explained by Bennie before, to help operate from unpaved runwaysPoldriver wrote:What is it what this plane carry' s on it's nosewheel?
