142 is mounted on a fore surface 121 b of the main strut 21 this is different to the landing gear 20 of fig1 where the cardan pin frame 42 is mounted to the side 21 a of the main strut 21 the cardan pin frame 142 of fig3 is mounted on the surface of the main strut that faces the direction of travel of the aircraft 110 during flight the axis of the cardan pin frame 142 is angled on the main strut 121 such that it is angled away from the side stay 122 a drag arm not shown extends out from the fore side of the main strut 121 the lower end of the drag arm is fixedly attached to the main strut 121 approximately halfway along the length of the main strut 121 the upper end of the drag arm is pivotally attached to the aircraft wing the drag arm forms a third leg of an upside down tripod also comprising the main strut 121 and the side stay 122 the drag arm and main strut 121 collectively known as the main fitting are aligned in the fore aft direction on the upper section 122 a of the side stay 122 just above the hinge 122 c a first end of a lock stay 123 is pivotally connected to the side stay 122 a second end of the lock stay extends towards the main strut 121 and is pivotally connected to the main strut 121 towards its upper end a first end of a downlock actuator 124 is pivotally connected towards the upper end of the side stay 122 a second end of the downlock actuator.
