Hi Keith--



Yup.  Both.  Snowing here.  All snug in the hangar.  Turn on the heat (if

you've got it) and service the strut(s).  Shouldn't get any squat to speak

of with brakes.  Make sure the nose strut is up, too, or taxiing will be a

chore.

From: "keithmckinley" <keith.mckinley(at)townisp.com> 

 

 

Thoughts? 

 

Started up the CJ today in some fairly chilly weather and a very cold

previous 

Night. When I applied the brake the aircraft dipped noticeably to the right.

Strut 

Was bottoming out. 

 

Not sure if the strut needs servicing or cold weather is the culprit or both

Hi Jerry,



No heat, maybe a bullet heater will do the trick.  



I think my nose strut may actually be over serviced as  it over extends on occasion while taxing and I hear the clunk??



Without digging into the misc pdf I have is the servicing nitrogen/oil or both?



Thanks,



Keith

Use nitrogen. Service to the cold temp. Then re-service in the spring( will 

have to relieve pressure).
