Hello,

i plan to install mudguard on main wheel. I have mudguard itself but it is not clear how/what it should be exactly attached to.
I found wheel including mudguard drawings for cirrus however i doubt there is the same attachment principle for ventus c.
I would be grateful if someone could share wheel/suspension/mudguard drawings or pics.

BR,
Martynas


While you are fooling with the mudguard be sure to check the locknuts on the overcenter limit bolts. I had a forced gear up landing with my Ventus CM several weeks ago because a loose locknut allowed the limit bolt to vibrate out about 1/8 in which was enough to prevent the handle to reach the detent.Fortunately I had a thick grass runway so no damage.
