REFLECTOR:RE:weak gas struts

[John Dibble]

Steve
The weight of the gear "pulls" hydraulic fluid through the dump valve.  
Because it is a single system, the mains and nose "pull" against each 
other and the heavier mains drop first.  Did you observe this in the air 
or on the ground.  If in the air, how did you know that the nose gear 
was laying on the doors?
I'm thinking that stronger door springs will resolve my issue of air 
stream pressure on the doors.  I don't know if stronger springs will 
damage anything or not.  Has anyone installed stronger door springs?
