Clear DayHello,
Had a small hydraulic line in the left wheel well break a while back.
Had to land with no brakes, flaps, or steering. Got that fixed. Flew
plane to the A&P location for an annual. Test flight after the annual,
hydraulic leak in either the up or down line to the right main gear,
actual line hasn't been isolated yet. My question...both hydraulic
lines, on different side of the plane (comletely different lines also)
have broken within 2 hours of flying time. Is there any hydraulic line
history or trend for Commanders whereby hydraulic lines start to fail at
the same time. In other words, is this going to be a problem in the
next hours of flight or next years of flight. Does anyone have
experience here?
Had to have new engine mounts and wastegates replaced during the annual.
Paul Gendron in Ft Lauderdale, FL did a good job with the work.
Corrosion on the mounts and manual wastegates were out of shape and
quite thin at the elbows. Plane has been down over 4 months and now
this hydraulic line problem.

Clear DayMy hydraulic failure was due to a badly made replacement hard
line in the right wheel well which put creases in the outside portion of
a 90 degree curve.
