An interesting conversation on gas door springs, and how to find ones that have good holding position over time without distorting the doors.
Andy Millin
I think it is time to replace the gas springs on my doors.
I have seen recommendations for gas springs, but never wrote them down. Is anyone using something other than stock?
My current springs are labeled: AVM SE850V-40PE
SE Standard extension damped spring
850 Stroke (8.50 inches)
V Rod and Tube size (8mm x 22mm)
40 P1 force (pounds)
PE ???
I've also seen these locking gas springs at McMaster. A little pricey, but, if they won't come down while I'm taxiing ... with a wind gust ... over bumpy ground... Because they are locking, the wouldn't need to be extra strong.

I just spent time chatting with a very nice guy from Bansbach Easylift. He is an Aerospace Engineer. He wanted to know everything about the application. He wants to walk me through the process and then help me with a recommendation. We'll see what he comes up with.
