(Sorry about that, the second picture did not show up on the first email.)

Trying to reinvent the wheel. On the Standard RG, the nose gear door 
actuator was not operating correctly so we decided to make a mod to a 
mechanical door operation.

I am still a long was off from flying but I thought I would post a pair 
of pictures to see if anyone might have any suggestions or concerns. 
Obviously it works well on jacks, but there is no air pressure on it, 
and I was looking for thoughts of how it might do in flight and if there 
is anything I should look into changing (i.e. larger springs, etc.)
