Marv et al,

My Lancair is #FB 315 if memory serves.  I purchased itin 1996.  It came=
 with the system you refer to included.  We calledit a gear door snubber.=
  I installed it and thought it worked well in allgear retract tests.=20
=20
This airplane is not flying but will do so thissummer.  I placed it in the=
 hands of a build assist shop in Redmond, ORyear before last and they rewo=
rked the slider as well as a few other things onthe gear doors.  The origi=
nal slider used a polyethylene sheet that was tooskinny, so this had to be=
 changed.  Without my input they removed thesnubber system.  When I questi=
oned them they told me Lancair no longerrecommended it.
=20
Recently I=E2=80=99ve heard of reports of doors vibrating incertain flight=
 regimes and wondered if the snubbers might be coming back infashion.  Wou=
ld appreciate comments on that rumor.
