Parallel pairs of steel bracing struts run between the lower fuselage and the spars at about mid-span.

[1] Behind the engine, the lower fuselage of the Aristocrat is flat-sided and built from welded chrome-molybdenum steel tubes.

Its tailplane is mounted at the top of the fuselage and the horizontal tail is straight-tapered in plan out to rounded tips.

The tailplane is in-flight adjustable and braced from below with a single strut on each side, carrying balanced elevators with a cut-out for rudder movement.

Each faired undercarriage leg is a strongbox, formed from aluminium sheet and hinged on the lower fuselage longeron.

Their tops are joined to a rubber spring shock absorber mounted centrally on the cabin frame below the pilot's seat.

[1][5] A photograph shows that this 102-E, at least, had a much-modified undercarriage with the wheels on simple V-struts and with vertical shock absorber legs to the forward wing spars.
