Thanks for all the comments and analysis regarding my rod end failure.
<<I assumed you landed on three legs>>
Yes Bob S., I did land on three legs.
<<How do you magnaflux a fiberglass airframe???>>
Check out Chris Z's post regarding his analysis of the rod end metal. Very interesting.
<<How about things not quite in line and the male part work hardened (no pun intended).>>
I will double check the alignment when I get the new rod end bearing from Vern today.
<<Are you flying too fast with your drawers (oops, doors) hanging down?>>
Okay Grayhawk, guilty as charged! In the past two months, I've been training for my IFR ticket and I've caught myself dropping the gear more the once before the magic 120 knots at or near the FAF.... One time, I did drop at 120 knots but then the controller ask me to go a few knots faster, which I did (135 knots) for a few minutes.
