Landing gear doors

[Frank Benvin]

Just added fluid to mine after having the rear gear pump was off Opened the doors with the hand pump Fired it up and put handle in down postion to close doors See how long it takes to go back to neutral . Hold handle down for a few seconds. Do the same precedure again and time it agian. It should get quicker as air is bleeds out.

Hey Rob
Check the door switch it’s on the bottom of the power pack

I'll try to look at it when I get back out to plane. Just seems weird that the doors close fine and handle kicks back to neutral on down action, but not up.

Check the fluid level after you flown it, and cycled the gear a few more times...check for fluid leaks as it take more pressure cycling the gear up than down. Just a thought.

Gear doors are designed to pop open if uplock or down lock circuits are not closed.
To prevent doors interfering with gear going up or down.

Check micro switches that engage w uplocks.
As i recall, just pump doors open and they are easily visible.

If they don’t make nice clean click, spray w contact or brake cleaner until they do.
Can also develop crappy contact ends.
Or replace w same from digikey or other source.
