Low Fuel and a Pilot -- 500 Lbs on each Main. Full of fuel, people and baggage -- 722 Lbs on each Main. Will the shocks handle the range 500 to 720 Lbs? (including landing forces?) If they depress approximately 2 inches, does this endanger the leading edge of the middle door? During a recent gear test (on jacks), I noticed the back-edge left-middle door sticking on the gear opening. One-third of a turn on the donut pre-load bolt gave me a 1/16th inch gap on the door to fuselage fit (no more sticking). In addition, the sides differ by about 1/8th inch and they also differ 1/8th inch from Lancair's 1989 installation directions. What would be the range of adjustment?
