Gary,
I haven’t had any problems with
leaks around the guide keys, but I did recently blow a seal on my 360 nose
strut.
Scott Dekker overhauled the strut and
returned it to me. He’s tough guy to talk too, but he did reply to my
email within 24 hours.

Subject: [LML] Nose strut
inspection with leak
Has anyone else had a problem with the leak around the guide key
retainer? My strut was rebuilt by Lancair in 2004 for this problem and
had a new guide key retainer installed while the plane
was still being built. It made its first flight on Dec 19,2006. I
checked the strut two weeks ago (inspired by this list) and found that it is
leaking from the guide key retainer again. I e-mailed Tim and Joe last week
about it but I have not heard back from them. I called Tuesday and
talked to Michelle in parts. She said I needed to talk to Scott Decker
but he is not taking calls right now, I left a message but he has not returned
my call either. Anyone have any suggestions?
Marv, I too want to thank you for this list. I have been here since
1997 and remember when you took it over. Great Job!! And to all the
people still building (mine took 9 1/2 years) you will forget all the pain
of building when you are flying a plane that you built, I wish I could express
what a thrill it is. So keep building! I never thought I would get there , but
I had a lot of help from this list and other builders. A special thanks
to Chris Zavatson, Bucky Whitter, and Peter Barber whom I don't think I
would have finished without there help and inspiration over all these years.
