I support Lancair because I want them to be there when I need ‘um. Saying that, a 45% reasonable markup seems high. But I buy ‘um anyway.

One problem is, they call those “gas springs” but searching for that term doesn’t return an answer. You have to look under hardware or some such.

Hey Guys,

 

Let’s give Lancair the benefit of doubt.  I don’t think they are gouging, just adding a reasonable mark up to their cost on parts.  My experience (post Joe) has been fair pricing and excellent service.  (Example, Michelle has shipped small stuff via USPS to save $$ on shipping)  We need Lancair to stay healthy and remain a parts and service source.  I try to buy as much as I can from them for that reason.  In January, I replaced the Gas Springs on our Legacy Gear.

Ed:

 

I ordered a replacement gas spring for my IV-P from McM/C and it turnout to be a lookalike only.  The unit came with threaded ends and was slightly shorted than needed.

 

I finally ordered from Lancair and had to wait months for the backorder.

 

Good Luck, Bill Hogarty

Who has the Mcmaster-Carr part no. for the gas spring on the 360 nose gear?  Lancair is charging about 70 bucks and who knows how old the parts are.  After Paul Hershorin’s gear up incident, I have decided to replace it.  It is only a 25 dollar part.  New ES kit is arriving today from Arizona, so I will be busy for a few years.  Ed Gray, dallas
