REFLECTOR: Nosegear Forks

[Richard J. Gentil]

I just had to replace both of the lower Main Gear halves for our Seminole. (Student had
a hard landing and did not bother to tell anyone. Found it on the 100hr.) My cost as a
Piper Service Center was $6,000.00 for the pair with Freight from Vero Beach, FL to
Naples, FL. I do not mind the price Velocity charges for the Nose Fork. ;-)
