Thanks everyone i reached out to @DonMuncy.

Last week while stowing the sun visor on the pilot side of the plane it broke off. Does anyone know where i can find a replacement ?

Thanks for the check, much appreciated.

Just wanted to do a quick sanity check with everyone else here but when you go full idle does your oil pressure go into the yellow arch ?

Dang for that price its super worth it. I am going to reach out to Brian and get some time on his schedule to get it installed in my plane.

Awesome, how much did it end up costing you if you dont mind me asking ?

Gear motor was replaced , had to get a new one as they dont make re manufactured versions. Greg at Advanced Aircraft did the replacement.

Thanks

So i currently have a 2007 Acclaim, do you know any shops that do the Type S conversion in 2025 also do you think it would be worth the $ ?

Well finally figured out what the issue was. Looks like the gear motor is on the way out, it would intermittently work then not work depending on if it got smacked or not.

Well bit of an update for today. Went to go for a flight and the gear decided not to come up this time, so im wondering if its the relay going bad. Will let you know what i find out.

Greg at Advanced in KTTD thought it might be the Gear down switch starting to go bad but due to the fact he couldn't replicate the issue we dont have the definitive answer yet. We are going to get a switch and keep it in stock and keep our eyes on it and just hope it doesn't happen again. I did not know that about the emergency gear latch Ill check that micro switch on latch and give it a clean thanks for the heads up. Mike

Hey everyone, Two nights ago i was inbound to KPDX and was on the ILS10 L when my gear didn't come down. After trying the gear switch a few times I ended up going missed and got vectored around while I tried to troubleshoot what was going on. After pulling the breakers and trying a few more times with the gear latch I ended up using the emergency extension and was able to get the gear down and flew the approach back in to KPDX and probably pulled off my best soft field landing i have ever done. Now the weird part, so I got it to my mechanic in KTTD and he has not been able to reproduce the gear issue. Dropping the gear in multiple configurations he has yet to have it fail once. Has anyone else experienced something like this ? I have a 2007 Acclaim fwiw. Thanks Mike

Cool thanks.

Awesome thanks for the information everyone. I am based in the Portland OR area but would be willing to fly to a shop with experience doing the STC so might give Don a call.
