Lancair switched to Wolstenholme (or something like that). Don’t
know that they are better, just a different company. They don’t have any mains
in stock right now – I just tried to order one.
I recently overhauled my cylinders and then developed a leak. I
think an o-ring must have been damaged in the rebuild.

Subject: [LML] ARO-TEK hydraulic cylinder LNC2
I have a Lancair 320. I just found a leak coming out
of the end of the left main hydraulic cyl on the high side. It is not
coming out of the fittings, it's actually coming out of the end where the stop
jam is. It's just a small leak but I rebuilt this cylinder
once already cause I thought there was an internal leak so my opinion is this
is a defective cylinder.
There is a label on it saying ARO-TEK from Washington
State. The new cylinders on the Aerocraftparts.com website look different
so I'm wondering if Lancair switched to a better replacement cylinder.
Anyone know? I just don't want to drop another couple
hundred bucks if I don't have to.
