docbonsai Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I am currently rebuilding two pt 22s. It is my understandng that the first 10 pt 22s accepted by the army all had wheel pants and landing gear skirts. Does anyone have knowledge of this? If so, I am looking for plans to reproduce these items on my aircraft....Yes, I know that they decrease performance. I also know that there were at one time aftermarket fiberglass wheel pants available, but they were reortedly VERY heavy. I'm looking for aluminum pants. My cell number is 859-536-6363, email is docbonsai@hotmail.com. Thanks Joe Richardson,MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an original set (maybe 1 of 3 original sets left) and it would take a LOT of good sheet metal work to reproduce them. I do not know of wheel paints being used on PT21/22 aircraft, only the landing gear fairings. Chris Nehus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
