What is the max safe speed to lower landing gear in a 109? does any expert here know? I’m always afraid to lower if going too fast.

I did a test when going over 700 km/ph and it didn’t go so well.

Any landing you can walk away from …etc.

For max Landing gear Extension speed, check the manual for V LE speed. :slightly_smiling_face:
