----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hi all,
Today I had the pleasure and honor of giving the
"Spook" her first ride in an M-10.
Unfortunately, we ended up skidding off of the
runway when my left spring gear snapped on roll out.
The plane looks fairly good with the main damage
being to the left gear and my wheel pants (which actually prevented worse
damage) to the plane.
Walker field is a grass strip, so we slid
on the grass and into tall grass and blackberries which prevented worse damage
to the underside of the left wing.
Georgia was a real trouper and rode it out
like she was used to that sort of a thing! I hope she doesn't get too used to
this kind of a wild ride as it is way too expensive!
Now....Has anyone ever experienced this
before?
Does anyone have a left main spring gear
for an M-10?
Please let me know ASAP.
Also, thank you to all you guys that helped with
the plane. I was a bit upset with my "Merry Wings" breaking her leg,
and may not have remembered to thank you.
And a big thank you to
Bob Saville for his help and support.
Mary
