REFLECTOR: MORE GEAR RETRACTION

[Tom Martino]

Got the over-center lock problem worked out ... It was the locking bar
binding a bit.
 
But then I noticed something else that escaped my attention the first
several times I retracted the gear (I guess I was so excited I did not
examine the nose gear doors).
 
The doors do not close!
 
I double-checked the plumbing - and all is well.
 
Here's the scoop:
 
When I raise the gear ... the nose comes up followed by the mains, then
they all lock ... the pump turns off and the nose gear doors just hang
there
 
I can push the doors closed but they don't stay.
 
When I drop the gear ... the nose wheel piston shoots downward with good
pressure and holds it, keeping the doors open.
 
Any ideas?
