Subject: Glasair-List: AutoZone gas spring working well


Following up on my AutoZone "Mighty Lift!" brand lift strut on the copilot-side
canopy. (Of an early Glasair II.)

It works fine. 

The stroke is 3/4 of an inch shorter than the OEM gas spring. That means that the
canopy doesn't open quite as much as originally. (Like, 5 to 10 degrees at
the top?) If it bothers me enough, I might make a hooked style metal extension
for the bracket on the canopy. That would hold the canopy open more and would
also put a "down force" on the canopy when the canopy is closed. (Instead of
the up force as now.)
