My P38 flies ok on a pair of OS 70 surpass I woud not say that it is over endowed with power
I have Spring Airs in my VQP61 and the nose strut does the same thing...My solution is to circle the field a couple of times and it will finally lock.The mains come down right away but not the nose.I think the air pressure is slow to bleed off.
