There were a pair of very wide chord lift struts under each wing, linking the lower fuselage longeron to the two wing spars near mid-span.
32.
The skids were attached to the upper fuselage longerons with a pair of near vertical struts on each side and by further bracing to the lower fuselage longeron.
33.
It was plywood skinned throughout, apart from an inevitable break in the upper longeron and in the upper surface skin for the under-wing open cockpit.
34.
Traditionally, Albatros had constructed fuselages with wood frames but the L . 66 marked a departure, with a welded steel tube longeron and strut framework balanced.
35.
Like the Astore, the Cicogna was a faired bracing V-strut joined the lower longeron to the wing at about one third span on each side.
36.
Each wing was braced from a single point on the lower fuselage pod longeron to nose and rear spars at about 40 % span by an yaw stability.
37.
On each side a V-pair of lift struts braced the two wing spars, at about 40 % of the span, to the lower fuselage longeron.
38.
Each mainwheel was at the end of a vertical oleo strut mounted on the forward wing spar, together with a rearward drag strut to the lower fuselage longeron.
39.
It had a simple, tailskid undercarriage with its mainwheels on a single axle, each end elastically sprung from a V-strut mounted on the lower longeron.
40.
There was a second member back to below the aft interplane strut and an axle from the large single wheel upwards and inwards, hinged to the lower fuselage longeron.
