bluestratos

I am using the after market nose strut and have a problem with it. If it becomes fully compressed it sticks in that position. I did a take off with out noticing the strut being stuck and almost lost the plane. The nose down attitude would not allow it to rotate and after gather great momentum, I had to abort take off and make a hard turn to avoid the rough. No damage but close.. too close. I need to put some kind of rubber stopper at the bottom of the stroke to ensure it cannot commpress too far... maybe just an O ring.

Best regards,
Randy
