REFLECTOR: Over Center Gas Strut

[Keith Hallsten]

Mike,

I don't have any specific information on the life of that particular gas
strut, but it seems to me that 9 years is a long life for any gas strut.
You probably got your money's worth out of that one!

How often dose one have to change the over center gas strut on the
retractable nose gear assy?

For the last three landings, I had to use my nose gear locking
tool to pry the nose gear that last half inch before the light would
come on.

According to my LogBook Pro records, I have roughly 492
landings (Cycles) over the last 9 years.
