| Subject: | Re: Gas spring effort |
Interested in the door strut stiffness (it is not a load). Mine are weak and need
refurb/change. I take it the values given in lbf are per inch (i.e. 50lbf/in)?
Bud uses Newtons (is that 26N/mm Bud?) which works out at around 148
lbf/in which seems high (especially for Florida climate).
I never experienced significant door distortion and have attributed that in other
planes to overly stiff struts.
The pressure fill value of 1400psi is useful as that gives the refurb company a
value they can use.
Where is this place in Surrey Kevin?

Factory is about 2 miles away from my house they refurb them. Sutton, Surrey.
It was a friend who told me they were there I didn't know.
It makes a massive difference. No more being bashed on the head.

I thought you would ask that.
Just because I have been there doesn't mean I can remember :-)
I am away at the moment for a few days I will look it up when I get home. My friend
might reply? He arranged it for both of our sets.

Hi Bill.
I am not sure Bill but it around 28 to 29, about 110/115 kts, Its a really good
consumption, for a Tri Gear .Surprised me, must be a good engine 550 hours.
I have flow 3 times all about 57, 61 minutes air bourn and refilled to the neck
of the filler. I can not give you a cruise burn as I have not got the flow meter
set up correctly yet. But I do know what I put in the tank to refill it.

The firm are the original suppliers to Europa and are:-
Industrial Gas Springs Ltd

Mitcham
Surrey
CR44HR
Phone 02086466595
They charged us 5 per unit plus post and packing.
There was a note on the invoice to say that the units had been charged to 185 Newtons.

Excellent response - thanks to all. And the details all correlate! One time before
l used company details offered from the forum to find it was a knitting

Another option is to use adjustable gas struts. Pressure adjustable from 20

Hi! Pete,
The struts are made by them so they pressure them up to design performance ( In
other words I didn't ask even !) However I have done the mod. that revises the
mounting further down the door so eliminating the pressure reaction upwards
on the door rear corner and re-enforcing of the door rear frame.

Hi Karl.
I see the adjustable gas struts,
They look from the photo a little thicker in diameter than the original struts
?, do they fit. the Europa OK,
Also, 20 to 200, how you set the pressure, lowering it, then increasing it.?
Price is 14.50
My Doors, One has been modified to the centre position and the other at the top
corner, Both have suffered the door being distorted. I need to modify the other
one to the center position.

Hi ALL.
I can disorientate a person in under 3 minutes, So how can this Tightrope walker,
walk a wire stretched between two sky scrapper blindfolded.
The brain needs reference information to lock onto , or does it.????
Does he have some Electronic Geo reference information feed to him by wireless,???

I am getting ready to make up the wiring harnes for my new Trig radio and
transponder and see that they use MIL -C-24308 connectors with M39029/63-368
crimped pins. The recommendation is to use the DMC AFM8 crimping tool, which
seems expensive. Has anyone used a more modest crimping tool with success?

| Subject: | Gas spring effort |
I made an adapter to fit in the end of the spring with an oring. Used a bottle
with over 1500lbs. 38lbs was measured on a bathroom scale pushing the spring down
on it. 60lbs after filling.
If you check into adjustable ones they are filled to a max pressure and then you
let out the amount of pressure to meet your strength requirements.
The basic formula for the strength is psi times area of piston in sq inches. There
are some other variables but they don't make enough difference to matter here.
So the piston is around .05sq in times 1400 equals 70lbs. I didn't have the
ability to measure the pressure exactly so it could have been more like 1300psi.
