I don't agree with this replace it at e= very annual. If you have a good strut that is going to last for 5 years why r= eplace it with a new one every year that might have some flaw/leak that coul= d fail. New does not mean it is good.

Hello Gang,

I suggest you= change out the nose gas strut every year at your annual condition inspectio= n. It's not worth the worry and they only cost 19.75ea. from Lancair Kit Com= ponents. I just ordered a couple of them.

Fly Safe!!
