This is getting somewhat OT, but it's fun, so I thought I would mention it:
When you fly the Skylane RG, always take the tow-bar with you; don't leave it in the hangar. I guy I know had a gear failure involving loss of hydraulic fluid (not simply failure of the hydraulic pump) such that the manual pump didn't solve the problem. So he -- opened the door; -- reached out with the tow-bar; -- hooked the partially-extended leg with the T-shaped handle of the tow-bar; -- pulled the thing into place, where it promptly locked. Always take the tow-bar with you, and make sure you can reach it in flight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
