Fw-190 landing gear cover stencils

Recommended Posts

Hallo

Now, this time a stupid question,  since I built many Fw-190.

The stencils of the gear cover says 

Federbein Solldruck / suspension leg / nominal pressure

Über / unter 4600kg. Over / under

We see marks and numbers. They are the Solldruck.

But how to read it?

I thought that the rear smal triangle door is used a indicator.

Actually I have no clue!

Can anyone give me an idea?

Happy modelling

To explain the topic a little better and make it easier to understand:

First a video to see the main landing gear.

 

If you look at the landing gear cover, xou read Federbein Gesamtdruck

Where is the indicator?

Is it the upper edge of the rear triangular cover?

Wirg the inspection and maintenance manual, what does it say?

Maybe you know the answer.

Now, the question of the wheel bay doors is solved:

It consists of three parts.

Upper part fixed on the gear leg.

Lower part fixed at the axle of the wheel. Mooves with the wheel upward during compression of the oleo.

The triangular part is connected with the lower part at the rear. And mooves also during compression!

The triangular cover mooves together with the wheel and lower cover, against the fixed rectengular part on the landing gear leg by itself.

You see the on the photos different positions.

The red arrow shows the upper kink of the 'rectengular' cover, as orientation!

What are the numbers of the pressure on the fixed cover? This is unsolved.

Since the manual writes all down as for nominal pressure is 25 atü required.

What is it of interest to know more detail due to the compressed ole?

 

Maybe you know it.

Happy modelling

@Bozothenutter, great thanks!

This is, what I concluded, but there was no proof until yet!

The two different pressures of 27 and 32 atü is exactly what I needed to understand.

Since the other manuals confirm just one pressure.

The real pressure is indicated now!

Perfect, question solved and answered.

Happy modelling
