My plane gets handled by FBO folks a lot and the recessed solution really doesn't work. . Stainless socket head bolts sitting on oversize washers to protect the pant works really well. The specifics of that solution are in this forum. I spent 8-9 years traveling with a Maule whose tail wheel meant that I got to park it and un-park it wherever I went. It kept hangar/handling rash to a minimum so I thought that's how I'd like my '10 handled. But I've learned to enjoy the pleasures of good FBO service where you can pull up front, get help with the bags and be in and out in minutes if desired (Wilson Air at KCLT is consistently the best at it - plane to pre-cooled rental car with bags in trunk in under 6mins, smiles all around).

Can those who purchased the Bansbach gas strut tell me the difference between A1A1F50-100-287/600N and E2A1F50-100-290-600N and results/ recommendations on either one. Thanks!

The pair cost $123.05 with shipping. They replaced the stock Vans units using the same hardware including a bushing around the AN3 bolt. They snap the doors open and they stay open where the Vans units worked but were subject to closing unexpectedly if jostled depending on temperature. These appear to be a perfect replacement. My doors may be on the heavy side with the original Vans pins + flush door handles + key locks + fabric/vinyl headliner and I'm currently adding Planaround 90degree retrofit latch. Struts seem to handle it all fine.
