Just found out that my bellcrank retraction needs to be replaced. The alignment is out of tolerance (euphemism for torded). After looking in more detail how the forces of the actuator are transmitted the torsional forces must be significant...(must check how much this eaton actuator can pull in Newton/m) The actuator push/pulls on the side of the bellcrank so the load distribution is not even Would like to hear some field experience here...?


The bending occurred mainly from the gear collapse however I am asking myself can the  6000 Hrs and aproximately the double retractions/extensions have contributed...?


PS:my M20J project is moving in the right direction...Cool...to my reliefe...Innocent
