Angier, that's what I was thinking when I first saw this issue.  The =
main gear actuators have spacers to limit the actuator travel under =
pressure effectively preventing over-stressing.  I don't see that =
described on the nose gear instructions.  I did not build my Legacy but =
I am very conscious of the broken welds and other issues that may to be =
related to excessive actuator travel.

I'm wondering if Dan could post the video or pix on youtube or someplace =
where we could watch the flex.

Does anyone have info on the nose gear actuator limiting process and is =
like the mains or just stops moving with pressure cutoff.  The latter =
doesn't seem to make sense.
