The famous Aeronca oleo landing gear is again incorporated in the new Chief. This time-tested method
of landing gear construction insures sturdy yet smooth handling on rough fields. Much of the shock is
absorbed in the oleo thereby lessening fatigue in the rest of the airframe and wing structure. Ease in
ground handling is assured with steerable leaf spring tail wheel and positive acting mechanical brakes.
Tie down rings are incorporated at the strut wing point attachment for security in the event storage space
is not available.
