Oscar Avalle Posted November 2, 2016 Report Posted November 2, 2016 I started my annual last Monday (owner assisted). Everything was going great until I decided to do an emergency gear extension. To my surprise after disengaging the motor and starting to crank...nothing happened! The gear did not extend. So we are working to find out what is going on...most likely we will need to send in the unit... Also, my fuel selector valve needs some TLC... poor thing it is leaking... My prop is being overhauled... So let's see how everything goes... Oscar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
Andy95W Posted November 2, 2016 Report Posted November 2, 2016 There's a decent chance your gear crank engagement lever and cable just need to be adjusted or given some attention. Keep us posted! 2 Quote

Oscar Avalle Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Posted December 21, 2016 Mine is at LASAR as I type...... After nearly two months the plane got out of the annual and is flying again!!! Still some minor issues are pending like the dimmer is not working...but at least I did a test flight and the CHTs are ok, the new JPI 900 works great and the panel feels really empty without all the steam engine gauges!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
Raptor05121 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 What was the diagnosis with the emergency gear extension? Quote
