Description
Helicopter pilots count on DART Aerospace crosstubes for safety, durability, and compatibility. Our crosstubes have been designed to be compatible with both DART Round-I-Beam™ and OEM Skidtubes and are easily installed using a thru-bolt system rather than with short bolts into anchor nuts. The crosstubes are manufactured by means of an environmentally friendly turning process and utilize clamp-on stainless steel supports to avoid rivet holes in high stress regions of the crosstube. DART low narrow Fwd crosstubes are not life-limited; they are to be replaced on-condition according to a max spread criteria.
*Measures 20" from ground to bottom of crosstube under-support. Also an approved replacement Fwd crosstube for Griffon CH-146.
