Now for some good advise. If this happens to you, go to the autoparts store, buy a 3 " length of water pressure hose and 2 hose clamps, and clamp that baby into the extended position, so it will not ride metal to metal with a negative angle of attack. Unfortunately, we thought of this idea after arriving home.
I don't think this is such a good idea (advise) at all. I would absolutely not recommend anybody take off with little or no pressure in the strut, period! This should be considered a NO-go item. And another problem would be prop-to-ground clearance. Hope you did not damage your strut in doing what you did. Respectfully, I can't understand how you decided to do another take off under the same conditions ?!!
