How do I know when I'm close to the limit of vertical travel on the landing gear, just before the fuse blows?
I understand that changing this fuse is a real pain, and many people replace it with a circuit breaker.
Anyway, I'd like to paint two lines, one close to each limit of travel, but I can't see how to tell when I'm approaching the limits by watching any other part on the drive mechanism?
Is there another part that you can see approach its limit?
Or, do I drive until I blow the fuse and then mark that position on the powered leg?
I really prefer not to do it that way.
Also, my product demo technician told us to drive out a lot of powered leg, because it is stronger of the two. Is this right? If the gear is set up correctly will there will be more drive leg out than inner leg visible, i.e. the leg with the pin holes?
Thanks, jim
