Send your words andphotos to absmail@bonanza.org.I am in the process of replacingmy Debonair’s landing gear rodend bearings. Being very dutiful, Idisassembled my nose gear actuatingrod assembly to see what kindof mischief I might find there. Well,sure enough, I was close to buyinga new prop and scratching up allthe paint on the underside of theengine [from a nose gear collapse].Please see the photo of the pin that everyone hates to see break. I have about4,000 hours on my 1967 Debonair, and I suspect this is only the second time(if ever) that the actuating rod assembly has been removed and inspected.—Fritz MehrerBeing a member of ABS has been the best thing I have done since owningBonanzas starting with my first A35. Your knowledge, expertise, and experiencesfreely shared has kept me flying even when I felt like walking away fromsome costly, technical issues as they cropped up. Once I deferred to the groupmy issues, I always received very useful help, and in almost every instancesaved a lot of cash. My love for the Bonanza aircraft involves performing asmuch work on my own plane as possible with the close eye of my residentA&P/IA. Again, many thanks for being there. —Steve GilsonI recently changed a SCAT hose on an aircraft. At first I thought it wasokay, but due to the age and color of the hose I decided to change it anyway.Upon removing the clamp Idiscovered it was covering ahole in the hose. This hosesupplied air to the aircraft’s defrost,and its close proximity toa leaking exhaust system wasa recipe for disaster.Although the pictures werenot of a Beech aircraft, thereis a lesson to be learned hereon how a simple clamp canhide a dangerous hole.—Steve JohnsonContinued on page 3432 AMERICAN BONANZA SOCIETY DECEMBER 2011
