Also, I have spoken with a couple of the pilots personally. Experiment for yourself. Thanks Joe - """ Joe - This is not much in the way of real evidence for connecting slower final approach speeds to gear collapses. An equally valid hypothesis is that the trouble is in Lancair's design of the landing gear itself!! Both need a lot more research before they can be stated as conclusions. Cheers, John """
