RE: lightning struts
Change the retracts to Robart 635's and Robart "Eurofighter" struts.
You'll never have problems with their garbage gear again.
Sorry I can't help on fixing their existing stuff. First time we had an issue after we had heard others were having problems, we just ripped it all out and engineered a better solution.
One of our down here is P200 powered and carrying extra fuel, and no issues with the Robart stuff.
Good Luck,
