Hey all,

 

Thanks for the input about my hard landing regarding repairs, inspections, and landing techniques.

 

I tried to have the landing gear “fork” straightened, like some of you have had done.  Mine broke at the machine shop while under pressure of only 600 lbs, according to the shop owner.  See the attached pictures.  Better to break there than in landing.  Lucky for me, Lancair had one in stock.  Should all be back together and flying Saturday morning.

 

While I’ve got it apart I will install new axles (with the new larger inner race to support the inner wheel bearings to keep them from turning), new tires, new brake pads, and one new inner bearing.
