skymstr02 is an unknown quantity at this point

Gear Doors

Check the electrical solenoid valve on the back of the powerpack. The plunger in it sometimes gets gummed up by hydraulic fluid residue. It also gets hot and any fluid residue can get gummy and impede the plunger (controls the hydraulic fluid flow to the door actuators).

I've seen this many times on pre '73 337 series airplanes.
