Sorry for the mishap of N127ZP.
It is critical that the retraction system is over center against the stops of
the
frame and remain in this position all the time the gear is down. The factory
has improved the original design with the addition of the strut (Mod 51). But
the lower end of this strut being attached to a pin and fork assembly, there
is inevitably a play which develops there overtime which makes the mod less
effective, possibly allowing LG08 arms to move away from the stops. I designed
a variation of Mod 51 which eliminates this defect. See attached pictures. The
port LG08 arm is modified with the installation of an aluminum plate glued with
epoxy and flox. The lower end of the strut is bolted directly on LG08 with
an AN3 bolt. Therefore there is no possible play in the LG08/LG12/strut
assembly.
