Thanks everyone for bringing this to my attention.
My condition inspection is due next month (my first since buying the L IV) and the nose gear gas strut inspection/replacement is something that will now definitely be part of it.

Are these struts available from common automotive (or other) sources, or only from Lancair?

Thanks,
Bill

HI THERE

put the strut on a scale and push down; you want a minimum of 100 pounds better 110

that will get your nose gear down
