Have you heard of the existence of an Elite POH? Last time I asked it
didn't seem to exist.
Cheers,

I've been sitting back on this one Frank..... as I don't like to
over sell
here.... but the weakest link of the gear is that aluminum bungee
strut.Even MAM has it (the slider section) down now as a 200 hour
"throw away" in
their Maintenance Manual.... so they started listening somewhere
along the
line. The best "Band-Aid" you can use to hold the legs together is
the 4130
struts and die springs like I build, or that you can fabricate
yourself.
These overbuilt 4130 struts do wonders for keeping the gear intact
even in a
ground loop. I've done one intentionally to avoid going through a
fence (at
about 35 MPH) and have watched a "customer" do a couple at 45MPH++
withoutdamage to airframe. The only thing I have managed to bend
on my airplane is
a main gear leg and I had to do a helicopter landing (at about 3
g's) onto
one ski edge, that sheared all my door post rivets out, broke my
windshieldetc. The bent leg was very hard to detect even off the
airplane. All I
noticed to prompt removing it was the tire/wheel seemed to sit a
littlecocked compared to usual. Placing the gear leg on a flat
surface and holding
at one end barely showed the warp, but pushing down at the other
end had the
opposite end about an inch in the air thanks to the bend being
only a few
inches out from the one end.
First check your bungee bolts. Did they get bent?? Then check the
main gear
leg with a steel straight edge that matches the full length of the
leg.
Cheers,
Wayne
