Pete,
Just a little added information.
I just had my nose struct rebuilt by Lancair. Scott Decker x139, told me that I had over filled the struct and broke something. He said to never fill the struct more than 250 psi.

Pete,
This is the method I use:
. Airplane on the ground, empty
. Add nitrogen to strut until it is fully extended
. Remove the filler hose
. Using a pin punch and a small hammer, make very light taps on the
Schrader valve stem until it drops to about 1/2" below fully extended.
. There is some hysteresis, so between taps pull down on the prop (or lift the tail) to see the actual position.

Subject: [LML] Strut Pressure
Does anyone know what the nitrogen pressure ought to be on the nose landing gear strut of a Lancair 360?
