>Ok, another question... I've
searched the archives and nothing comes up. What force strut is to be used on
the nose gear over center gas strut?
>100
lbs?
Lancair
POH specifies 100 pounds minimum.
I used a 120 pound strut from McMaster-Carr because I expected it
to leak off over time like the Lancair unit
did.
The 3
separate struts that I bought from Kit Components held above the 100 pound
minimum for an average life time of one year each.
The one
strut that I bought from McMaster-Carr has so far, demonstrated a service
life time of about 8 years and is still going
strong.
The 110
pound strut from McMaster-Carr would probably be strong enough in view of the
low leakage rate.
