Help with Jet Legend Viper landing gear
I have a Jet Legend 1.9 Viper and the left main gear is compressing all the way when the plane is sitting on the ground. I read where it is a air and oil strut. Can anyone tell me where to get a fitting to fit the strut, and how much oil and air to put in it? Also the same for the front strut also?
Thanks

I have a Sky Master Viper gear that looks like your gear. I used a small brass tube on a Robart pump that fit over the fitting (That I held in place) and then had a guy pump 100 psi into the strut.

Hope this helps.

It's air and a little oil. Pump to 40psi I seem to remember. If in doubt just pump in 10psi increments and see how it feels.Use a standard 3mm threaded nipple for 3mm tube to fill.
