Im hoping it will be done in 2-3 weeks. They called me yesterday and all of the old equipment has been removed and they started to pull new wire yesterday. The plan is to keep this hauler for a long time so I’m hoping this all works great. I’m also adding two G5’s and a G345 usb chargers and a...

I purchased a 77 Lance and removed the CNX80 for a G750XI. It worked well on the few trips I took with it. I have the rack, connectors, data card and reader, CD's and manuals. I'm asking $4,000.00 Please let me know if you are or someone you know would like to have it. Located in...

Ok here we go again. I got the gear saddles all completed and other minor things and thought I would ready for a summer of fun travel. Well Took off on a weekend trip and the gear doors would not close. Gear came down and locked green light and so on. Landed no trouble. Got out checked, not...

Yes like you, some of those pesky little things are spendy. Still love the plane. Flew 1.7 Sunday and it did great. Would like to fly a T 210 sometime to see the difference.

Ok the old girl is all done and I flew it home today. Everything works great and it flys great!!!! Dustin at SEMO aviation and his staff did a great job. Of course there were a few other things that he found during the process that we fixed along the way. Now I'm good for another 1000 hours.

The plane does everything I need it to do. Yes it could do more or bigger or faster, no it does not have an auto pilot blah blah. I do enjoy it and it fits the bill 95% of the time. I will say it takes focus when flying instrument approaches in it and you learn to stay ahead. Having said...

The gear saddles were about 5,500 total. There have been bushings and some other minor parts that I do not have the totals for yet. I will post when the dust settles.

Well yes and no. I will say it has been a learning experience. There are many posts and conversations on buying old planes. Yes sometimes you are buying someones troubles and not others. I was able to purchase this plane well below book value. This has been the biggest mechanical issue...

The latest update: The saddles and bushings have been replaced. Gear swings great and the finish line is in sight. The switch on the gear handle broke during testing so the trip for Easter was cancelled. The new switch was ordered yesterday and hope to have it in today and make this repair...

I hanger at 2h2 Aurora Mo South west of Springfield. Hope to have all repairs completed by this week. fingers crossed.

Okay here is the latest. I spoke with Textron tech support several times today. Finally we found a part number for this bushing we have been searching for. 142 phone calls later KRN in AZ has three of them. They look correct in the picture they sent with a ruler for reference. Hope to have...

My mechanic was able to obtain these. Not sure about that process.

Ok here is an update. There is a bronze bushing that the saddle sits in. I thought I found some in AZ but not the correct ones. We did obtain a drawing from textron to have these machined. Once again a delay!!! Still love the plane just trying to get it put back together. My teeth are...

Ok well thank you for your help.

According to my local AP the repairs may need to be completed at a Cessna service center and 4 of the 5 called did not express any interest in doing the work. the 5th had to get back with us. I believe he contacted them with no success.

Hello everyone. Ok here is the story, We bought this great 1960 C 210. First plane and I love it. Ive made a few upgrades and fly it often. The gear saddles have timed out and I have purchased new ones. I have found out this is maybe not a job for every mechanic. Sounds like there may be...
