landing gear actuator not functioning efficiency

[orionflt]

had carpel tunnel surgery this morning, hoping the landing gear actuator will be functioning enough to fly to Osh on sunday. I will be bringing backup just incase.

I hear that the parts availability for that actuator is rather limited.  Good luck with the repairs on your existing one.

Perhaps you can get the old one "yellow tagged."

Mrs. Steingar had this done a few years back.  Make certain your backup is fully functional.  You don't want to louse up the surgery.

Manual or electric?

I see. Well, when I bought my E the PO told me that he was selling because he could no longer get the Johnson up   because of rotator cuff issues.

 

In fact, when we flew her the first time (I was right seat) I had to operate the gear--so that was my first time every doing it.

 

So, take along a co-pilot with a strong left-arm.

 

If you are adept at the MNM (Mooney Nod Maneuver), you may be able to get by with the bandage.

Right seat actuator acquire, we will see how everything is feeling and make the go/no go call Sat night.

This thread is fertile ground...

Let me start... Brian, I'm sure your mother did warn you that stroking your Johnson Bar would make you go blind. Did she not mention the part about wearing out your wrist?

I have the same concern. If I ever need carpel tunnel surgery on my thumb, I'm in trouble!

...and this (thread topic) is the only advantage we are going to allow you for having electric gear.

 

...and don't make me bring up "the spring".
