Let's find our way back to more meaningful discussions relating to
Lancairs. =
I just installed the gas oleo replacement for the rubber 320/360 Mooney
main gear donut. It looks like it will be a great improvement but I have=
not flown it yet. I am expecting a 10% or better improvement in GJ (greas=
e
jobs) which is how I justified the expense to my wife. Stand by for my
unbiased anecdotal GJ report comming soon. =

Lancair Network News =
I am just having my annual completed. It should be done today. I am a purchaser, not a builder. My repair shop installed SB050-9999 without a problem.
I also had Ong's Debongers installed. I will report on the Debongers in a future issue.
My 320 has the small tail and a center of gravity that is at the aft limit when fully loaded.
I will be taking some more landing training to help with better landings. I met a G4 pilot, instructor. He believes that my approaches should be slower. 1.3 times stall or about 80 mph for calm days. He also suggested adding 1/2 the crosswind component plus all of the gust speed up to a maximum of 33 mph. In all of my past training (from Lancair also) I have been told to stay at 120 mph. How do the rest of you approach?
