Kevin I'm so sorry.- The same thing happened to me.- I seem to recall t
hat the ourigger legs have a limited life- mine were probably over 5 yrs ol
d by the time I tested the a/c and they were brittle enough to snap off

Hi All,

While taxiing today on pavement my left outrigger gear leg snapped off. 
I pulled the brake, and the Airmaster warp drive blades hit the asphalt 
and shredded.

Has anyone heard of an outrigger leg snapping off like that? I thought 
they were supposed to bend a lot without breaking.

very sad Kevin
