There'll be some planes there that have them.

Yes. They're the same for all models. The factory sold them and installed them in the late 90's and early 2000's on a lot of 112's and early 114's.

I still have a few of these on my shelf. PM me if you want one.

Getting ready to do another run of these for a couple people. PM me if you'd like to add your name to the list.

Great video!

This is a stupid video. I guess directed at stupid people! Comparing a Commander to a Mooney is like compering a Camero to an Expedition both have 8 cylinder engines, but the Camero is faster - duh! Comparing a Commander to a Bonanza - great - you know what it costs to keep a Bonanza flying...

What! No door struts! :) :cool: :)

Lol. I find that gives me a lot of problems too!:-)

You Tube only gives 2 choices, kids or adults - not both. The content on Ryan's channel is kinda for both. https://youtube.com/@ryanintherockies?si=YEOQRlpqK3Wvq3aN

Video from the 2024 Fredericksburg Fly-In. Ryan's perspective.

That's what scares me - all we need is for this guy to have a gear collapse or some other easily avoidable calamity and start blasting a bunch of nonsense about Commanders.

It can be carbon fiber, or fiberglass. My fiberglass technician has over 30 years experience. He built the original Lancair kits when he was in his 20's. Now he does land speed record cars, rocket drag cars, off road racing trucks, custom track racing cars, camera equipment for Hollywood, still...

Nothing specific. There's just a lot of mechanics out there these days that only look at what they're paid to look at. They overlook landing gear issues, fuel delivery issues, exhaust issues - sometimes simple things that can cause big problems, and Commanders are foreign to them, so they don't...

Wish he'd bring that plane down here so I could look at it, or at least have his mechanic call. I'd hate to see a high profile guy like that have an accident that could have been easily avoided by a simple walk around.

Yes, I have a mold to make new cowlings. I've done 5 of them so far. They're universal, made to fit either a 112, or 114, so they require a lot of extra work for each specific application. Also have gear doors for all models.
