HI THERE

Two mont= hs ago i landed at TEB with two green which turned out to be no left main g= ear
i made the best approach i capable of and touched down nose high in = the right attitude
then
 =3B =3B =3B =3B the left win= g began to drop and full aileron kept the wing up for a while as i slowed.<= br> =3B =3B =3B =3B the wing tip came down and became the l= eft gear substitute.
 =3B =3B =3B =3B i kept the plane o= n the runway until the load got heavy and then acquiesced to the plane's de= sire to go to =3B the left.
 =3B =3B =3B i aimed between= two landing lights and came to a quiet stop

THE DAMAGE
 =3B&= nbsp=3B =3B left wing tip damaged
 =3B =3B =3B pitot scr= aped off
 =3B =3B =3B light scratches to aileron and flap
all told way less than $1=2C000 to repair
 =3B =3B =3B&= nbsp=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B (not including the actuator= replacement)

no prop strike

THE CAUSE
 =3B =3B ge= ar actuator failed=3B clearly looked like a shear failure

 =3Bi = would not consider landing gear up after this experience.
 =3B = =3B I HAD CONTROL
 =3B =3B I HAD MINOR DAMAGE

the lift wi= th the air bags cost $3=2C500 and was a bargain with no damage by the lift<= br>
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
 =3Bwatch this video of a Lancair twisting a= nd turning out of control as it ground it prop and wing tips to a stop
<= br>LANCAIR LANDING GEAR UP

A $20=2C000 PART FAILURE

or here a nose gear strut th= at did not strut enough to extend the nose gear

NO THANK YOU

I will use whatever landi= ng gear i have and pilot the plane until it stops

NOTE HOW NICE THE = NOSE GEAR KEEPS THE PROP SAFE FROM THE NASTY GROUND
