Update: Ok we took a close look at the oleos. We jacked up the front of the cockpit and the right front oleo didn't extend. I let some of the air/nitrogen out of the right front and now it collapses and extends. I still don't think they have been serviced in a very long time. The rock was a lot less so I'm sure they are all wrong. Now to find someone or the equipment to get it done right. Have any of you rented a nitrogen bottle from a welding shop and have been able to service them. What is a normal cost at an FBO to check and fill? I still haven't heard from Bayard at Enstrom so I'm not sure on the pressures. I know helodriver said he uses 200lbs in the fronts when providing rides so what would a pilot by himself require and what would a single passenger require?
