A marathon
I bought a Q200 from Bob Farnahm in April of 21. He graciously offered to help me with my first condition inspection , specifically taking off the elevators and lube them up and re - install. I flew back over from the vegas area.Everything was going great until we found that the mid point hinge support had broken off on the right elevator . The airplane flew fine ( although I heard some reports of bad things) I felt none of that flying over to Livermore. Bob along with Jim Patilo and others there jumped in and got involved with a fix. After Bob found the correct part (C17 for the LS1 canard) I found a machine shop near me that made a couple up for me. |

Glad you got it back home again, Mike. Bob and company did a great job on that repair. I am certain you will enjoy it for many more years. Happy flying into the new year!
Cheers, Jay

Mike are there any details available on this fix. At the point of the mid span hinges on my restoration. Would appreciate additional input.
