My outrigger legs seem to go all the way into the OR1 forks. If you're no
t careful
taxiing on narrow paved taxiways and get an outrigger off the pavement, the
outrigger
will bend considerably as it steps back onto the pavement and can scrape th
e OR1
fairing, no big deal tho. I sure wouldn't want aluminum fork legs!
