Can I Push on the Strut or Not..?
When I bought my SM the previous owner made a really big deal about never pushing the plane by pushing on the strut. He said it is different than a 172/182 etc and should never be done so I have not done it. Then I read in the POH that pushing on the struts is the recommended procedure and I am confused. It sure would be a lot easier/safer than pushing on the prop or open door frame etc. Also, whenever forks want to help that is the first place they try to push. Thoughts..?
