Mike,
There are 2 gas struts on the 6, one on the gear and another in the linkage on
the left side (?) that is almost impossible to see or to get to. This is the
one that should be replaced with an aluminum bar. If the handle and gear
positions, don't agree, something is bent. Check the drive arm at the gear box.

The last time I saw your problem (fuselage not high enough when lowering the
gear) the gear collapsed on take off.

Good luck, JJ

BTW, you 3 drivers can check the condition of your gas strut by trying to
collapse the gear by applying forward pressure on the drag links. It should
only move about an inch and then spring right back to over-center. Do this
check with the fuselage in your trailed dolly, please.
