Applications & Compatible Aircraft

The 4360-2 is designed for conventional-gear aircraft including Cessna 170/180/185, Piper Super Cub and PA-18 variants, Citabria/Decathlon, Maule, and most other taildragger singles. Ideal for repair stations and A&P mechanics performing main gear, brake, and tire maintenance on taildraggers.

Choosing the Right System

The 4360-2 is designed for tailwheel aircraft flat gear maintenance (brakes, tires, wheel fairings) without requiring gear leg removal. For jobs requiring complete main gear leg extraction on Cessna taildraggers (170/180/185), the Belly Pad Tailwheel System (4360-4) is the correct choice.

Aircraft Maintenance Note

Jacking procedures must be performed in accordance with the aircraft's Maintenance Manual (AMM) or Illustrated Parts Catalog jacking section. Confirm manufacturer-approved jacking points before lifting any aircraft. These systems are designed for use by certificated A&P mechanics and are appropriate for FAA Part 145 certificated repair station environments.
