So Saturday the 26th I picked up my "new" 64 235 and flew it across AL and GA to it's temporary home. There was an airshow going on at the home field, I was heavy with fuel (topped all tanks before 2hr flight) and tired from the flight so I touched down a little hard. Not my worst landing, no bounce, but definitely not
smooth. I immediately noticed a slight lean to the right in the plane. After taxiing and letting my canine copilot out, and unpacking, etc I forgot to investigate. This Saturday I went over to check and wash the plane and noticed a very big is difference in the amount of strut visible on each side (maybe 3" on right, 7-8" on left).
After checking my trusty forum here I called the field mechanic who put some N2 in it and everything seems to be fine! I didn't see any evidence of leakage during my cleaning, so hopefully no seal issues. Thanks piper forum crew!
