It must be in the builder's manual. It warns us to do monthly emergency gear extensions to make sure the strut is doing its job. If the gear should fail to come down, we are to replace the gas strut. I don't remember the speed called out, but you can pick the 87 knots the POH says or a higher number. Or do it at 120 knots and slow the airplane, recording what airspeed the gear locks. When that airspeed deteriorates to 87 knots, it's time to replace the strut. Regards, Ed.
