I’m always amused by the way it looks like it’s about to fall off during the retraction sequence.

Dont forget the picture captures it during it’s retraction sequence, so it does look odd. Otherwise, its a standard Cessna spring gear leg 😉

I understand that but the poles the wheels are attached to just don’t look as if they are strong enough to hold the aircrafts weight without buckling.

it simply doesn’t look strong enough to support the weight of a go-kart never mind a Cessna

WOW!

The undercarriage of G-BSGT is the most incredible looking thing I have seen in a long time, it simply doesn’t look strong enough to support the weight of a go-kart never mind a Cessna. 😮
