 John, I don't know how many hours that you have flown in Lancairs, but
 my experience tells me that what Don and Lance have told me would seem
 to be true.  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
