THANK YOU, MR. TORRES. I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF RT AEROSPACE - NO WAY TO MAKE A LIVING MODIFYING 337s ONLY! I HAVE CALLED BOTH ABOUT THE GEAR DOOR REMOVAL (MORE ABOUT THIS LATER) AND THE BAGGAGE DOOR FOR MY NORMALLY ASPIRATED '76 337G. GETTING THE BAGGAGE IN/OUT IS EASIER THAN THE EARLY LEARJETS BUT STILL NOT THE BEST SITUATION. I DECIDED THE COST/BENEFIT DIDN'T MEET MY NEEDS (TRAVEL ALONE MOST OF THE TIME.)
WHEN I ASKED WHOEVER ANSWERED MY CALL ABOUT THE GEAR DOORS THE FIRST QUESTION TO ME WAS, "HAVE YOU HAD A GEARUP LANDING YET?" I SAID NO AND THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT THE COST SAVINGS WHEN I DO HAVE A GEARUP LANDING WHICH THE PERSON I WAS TALKING TO ASSURED ME WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND THE MOD WOULD SAVE A LOT IN REPAIR COSTS! NEVERTHELESS, I CONTINUED TO CHECK AROUND WITH OTHERS WHO'D HAD THE MOD DONE (AND ON THE 210 AS WELL) AND AGAIN DECIDED THE COST/BENEFIT DIDN'T PUT IT HIGH ON MY PRIORITY LIST.
IN ANY EVENT, I AM GLAD YOU HAVE PERSONALLY GIVEN US YOUR BACKGROUND AND PHILOSOPHY OF BUSINESS. I'VE STILL GOT THE BAGGAGE AND GEAR DOOR MODS ON MY WISH LIST - MAYBE SOME DAY.
