Phil Gower (interested in a Yak 18T) With the airplane's weight on the jacks and off the wheels - think of the pressure in the strut as a "preloaded" pressure. Yes the pressure increases when the strut is shorten, but that is the shock absorbing function of the gas.

I was going to take my CJ up to the Redding airshow next weekend, but I am not going to be able to make it. I am recovering my flight controls, and they will not be done in time. The airshow will supply a room for Fri and Sat nights, passes for the VIP tent (food, etc.), and return gas. I would like to find a plane to take my place. Please contact me off list.
