In going over some very old (15 years) RAS threads on gear collapse
problems, I found a reference to a service bulletin that mandates
replacing the gas spring with an aluminum bar. JJ also mentioned
doing the same. Alas, the 15 year old link is inoperative. On the DG
website I found a listing of service bulletins, but not the service
bulletin itself. If anyone can send me a link or explain how to
obtain the reference service bulletin, I'd be very grateful.
TIA
