Hey all,



Yeah, it's a little embarrassing but.I made a Piper Cherokee 140 type
landing today.but I wasn't in my 140, I was in my Lancair 360.

I learned - after 95 hours of flying the L360 - what a landing is like when
I pull the power off 3 feet above the deck instead of carrying power all the
way down. It was definitely a mental lapse on my part.

Anyway, I need a part to replace the one in the pictures and was wondering
if anyone had one lying around. I will be glad to purchase it from you.

I have completed a very thorough inspection and have found no other visible
damage. The Ong's Debongers sure took a shot and seem to have held up. If
anyone has any comments about what else to look for or be aware of, I am
open to the dialog.



A couple of the pictures clearly show the stress the part took by the cracks
in the paint. This massive casting bent about 3/16 of an inch.



Hopefully a little wiser for the wear.
