HI THERE

FAIL SAFE NOSE G= EAR EXTENSION

the check that every Lancair 4 should make in the air.=

The Lancair IV series of airplanes have a "fail safe" nose gear ext= ension system.
=3B =3B if the gas piston is in good condition t= he nose gear will extend and lock. Cost $65.00

$20=2C000 PART
&nb= sp=3B =3B =3B =3B that is the likely cost of a new propeller an= d engine tear down and reinstall.. YUCK

HOW TO CHECK

IN FLIGH= T
=3B =3B slow to 120 knots
=3B =3B 1. Raise the ge= ar
=3B =3B 2. pull the pump breaker
=3B =3B 3. cycl= e the flaps til no movement
=3B =3B 4. put the gear switch in t= he down position

IF YOU GET a GREEN LIGHT ON THE NOSE GEAR
= =3B =3B Then you system is working as it should and you will have a nos= e gear even
=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B if you have a tota= l hydraulic failure or broken hydraulic line

TESTING ON THE GROUND--no positive
=3B =3B will only tell you if the system is no= t working.
=3B =3B =3B =3B you need the actual conditio= ns of air load to be confident that the system will wo= rk under air load

LANDING GEAR UP IS A MISTAKE
=3B&nb= sp=3B =3B A. yea=2C i forgot--well=2C we all fear that

BUT=2C IN= DICATING ONE OR TWO GREEN

=3B =3B =3B Land with what yo= u got=3B you will have considerable control=3B rudder=2C aileron=2C pitch

gear up landing is scary' NO CONTROL
=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B&n= bsp=3B =3B there is a video of a lancair landing gear up... on purpose= =2C so to speak
SCARY- wing tip grabs=2C plane spins one way=3B Plane sp= ins the other way
=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B = =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B and goodby prop and engine.
=
AND
=3B =3B as it gets harder and more expensive to insure= Lancairs=2C it may well be that you are going to pay out our= your pocket
the repair cost.

like i say=2C the $65.00 part that = could cost you $20=2C000

RECENTLY
=3B =3B =3B = =3B i posted a video of a Cessna 210 landing with the nose gear only. a bea= uty to see
