Chuck:

You might need to adjust the pump.  The pump has two adjustment sensors,
check your instructions.  Also check your sequence valve.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Nose Gear Almost Up


It pains me to have to show my ignorance but that beats staying stupid.
Most time, but not all the time, the XL RG nose gear  raises to its up
position, then the mains come up, then the nose gear travels the last few
inches into its 'up' resting position which triggers the nose gear doors to
close.  The problem is, in the air, about 50% of the time the nose gear
comes up, the mains comes up, but the nose gear never finishes its last few
inches of 'up' travel, thus the nose gear doors never fully close.

I've tried cycling the gear and resetting the hydraulic system, but no
change.  It rare that the hydraulic motor ever has to cycle on for a second
or two to keep the hydraulics up to pressure.  Any ideas why the nose gear
isn't popping up into its final resting position?

Chuck
