HI THERE

FAIL SAFE = NOSE GEAR EXTENSION

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

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

$20,000 PART
     that is the = likely cost of a new propeller and engine tear down and reinstall.. = YUCK

HOW TO CHECK

IN FLIGHT
   slow to 120 = knots
   1. Raise the gear
   2. pull the pump = breaker
   3. cycle the flaps til no = movement
   4. put the gear switch in the down = position

IF YOU GET a GREEN LIGHT ON THE NOSE = GEAR
   Then you system is working as it should and you = will have a nose gear even
      if you = have a total hydraulic failure or broken hydraulic line

TESTING = ON THE GROUND
--no positive
   will only tell you if = the system is not working.
     you need the = actual conditions of air load to be confident that the system = will work under air load

LANDING GEAR UP IS = A MISTAKE
    A. yea, i forgot--well, we all fear = that

BUT, INDICATING ONE OR TWO GREEN

    = Land with what you got; you will have considerable control; rudder, = aileron, pitch

gear up landing is scary' = NO = CONTROL

         &nbs= p;  there is a video of a lancair landing gear up... on purpose, so = to speak
SCARY- wing tip grabs, plane spins one way; Plane spins the = other = way
           =   and goodby prop and engine.

AND
   as it = gets harder and more expensive to insure Lancairs, it may well be that = you are going to pay out our your pocket
the repair = cost.

like i say, the $65.00 part that could cost you = $20,000

RECENTLY
     i posted a video of = a Cessna 210 landing with the nose gear only. a beauty to = see
