Pete,

This is the method I use:
.  Airplane on the ground, empty
.  Add nitrogen to strut until it is fully extended
.  Remove the filler hose
.  Using a pin punch and a small hammer, make very light taps on the
Schrader valve stem until it drops to about 1/2" below fully extended.
.  There is some hysteresis, so between taps pull down on the prop (or lift
the tail) to see the actual position. Bob Belshe

Subject: [LML] Strut Pressure


Does anyone know what the nitrogen pressure ought to be on the nose landing
gear strut of a Lancair 360?
