<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>While doing a monthly gear free-fall test yesterday, I could not obtain a
<BR>down and locked gear light on the right main. Inspection on landing revealed
<BR>that the overcenter link spring had fractured at the coil on the long arm
<BR>side. Not spotted on preflight.
<BR>
<BR>This is one of the updated springs, two years in service with approximately
<BR>500 cycles. Has anyone else experienced this?
<BR>
<BR>Net, net, net. Preflight, preflight, preflight.
