180 legs

[minton]

After seeing so many cobbled together gearbox "Repairs" in the past, I Would highly recommend the STC route rather than a potential visit from the FUZZ to look at your particular installation. You might be the one who gets a violation for a faulty repair on top of a "disapproved" field approval application.

Just a thought

I hadn't really thought of the possibility of hiding a "cobbled up" repair through the use of an STC, but it aint a bad idea.

I cannot help but disagree with having to pay the sometimes excessive cost for a STC for a item that has been done for many,many years and with many,many sample 337s to attest for it. The Installation of the C-180 gear legs on a C-170 is a perfect example. After all these years, why should some guy get a "permit' to allow you to do a job that has been done for years.
I tend to get the idea that the FAA, due to their "dumbing down" program, is afraid that their aircraft maintenance overseers are too incompetent to do the things that were historically done by their predecessors.

Just scared of loosing their feathered nest

For the life of me I cannot figure out why minton's quote of blueldr is not properly displayed.

ron74887,

Sorry I can't be of any help in your search for 337s. My C-180 gear leg installation was just bootlegged in.

I can. Because he doesn't have BBcode enabled. I've turned this on for several posts for better display of quotes. If you look back at his now it should be right. (At least it is on my MAC. )

AhA! I didn't think of that. (I'd just quoted it myself and could not see any difference in the actual text to be submitted.) Thanks for the reminder.
