If these struts lose gas when stored compressed, what does one do when the plane is parked in an unsecured area or when it is flying? I have a pair of these (same manufacturer-different model) on the hood of my car. The car is a 1984 and they are original and they still work just fine. Lets hope the RV-10 door struts are of equal or better quality.

I was told that (when compressed)the gas can leak out leaving you to pay for
the very expensive seal gas strut replacements." |

The struts are basic automotive struts, I already found them at Pepboys, If I recall they are for Lincoln Bonnets or hood to us Yanks. They should last many years but are easily found to replace. About $30 a strut.

I do know the struts on the car hoods will leak if you get paint over spray on the shafts and then close the hood. Ask me how I know. During painting the shafts should be protected from over spray if possible.
