Hello All, You can also check out Guden gas springs here:
http://www.guden.com/control-dampers.aspx
They had what I needed and always sold to me in small quantities (two or
four) when I phoned in my order.

Hello all...
I've been looking for a set of replacement gas springs for my 2-place and
finally found them. The company does not normally stock this size, but their
canadian distributor has them in stock right now. They're called Normont
Systems, 1-800-465-3678. They were just over $50 for a pair delivered. Part
number is NSE400V20CE.
I'd recommend ordering a pair now as the minimum order is 100 if they don't
have them in stock and they normally don't stock this part number according
to the sales guy.
Cheers,
Scott

Hello Guys,
I am flying again after being down because of whether and Transponder
failure. I replaced a Radair transponder unit for a King KT76A. I bought it
used from a shop in Calif.
Anyway I am still planing to send Rich my weight and balance figure when he
gets relocated. I was not able to get any pictures of tufts on the
elevator so will fly with a chase plane to take pictures as soon as the weather
clears some here in Denver, CO.
I have flown three times since I had a nightmare landing. I decided I
could do it and learn what it takes to do it right. I went to the airport and
watched the Lears and Cessna Citations land. They come in with enough
power to maintain the airplane level through decent and across the fence. The
descent is controlled, at that attitude with power. At about touch down
the power comes back some and the nose is raised about 5 degrees and held at
that pitch until touch down. I have had 3 perfect landings since by doing
it just that way. I practiced this at altitude first and saw what it took
to hold these attitudes. When I get a few more landings under my belt I
might change that some but for now, I am actually touching down about 65 to
70 mph indicated. What a relief, I don't think I will part it our now.
HA!!!!!
I had an experience I would like to compare with your guys though. I was
flying straight and level in the practice area, indicating about 140 when
all of a sudden the plane pitched up about 15 degrees, then down about 15
degrees etc. It was bang - bang --bang- bang, very rapid and violent. This
happened about 3 times before I could pull the power, then it stopped.
Question: Has anyone else experienced this action? Did I fly through a front
that was rolling? Did I hit someone else's wake? I didn't see any
aircraft in the area. I even turned around and scanned the sky and no one else
was in sight. It was like flying through a roll cloud. I've never
experienced this before.
At the right speed, could this have been an interaction between the wing
root filets and the tail? Anybody care to speculate? I got back and have
careful gone through the plane and I find nothing loose.

Hello Jesse,
Glad to hear that you are flying again!
I don't have any good ideas on your UNUSUAL ATTITUDE practice! (HA)
I wouldn't think it is related to the wing root filets.

Hi All,
What type of connectors do I use when connecting to things such as the
fuel pump and the fuel level senders.
Regards
Mike
