REFLECTOR: What would you do - not do?

[Ron Brown]

Oh, and another one:

On RG's: Don't put the emergency gear extension valve on the right side of 
the keel.  Too hard to reach from the pilot's seat with the should belts in 
place.  The left side would be much easier to reach.

I also wore my valve out during construction.  It started leaking internally 
not long after first flight.  What I would do is raise the gear with the 
pump, then lower it slowly to certain positions so I could work on the gear. 
This resulted in the valve leaking through which led to the pump running 
about every few seconds when on the ground.  I could open and close the 
valve and it would improve the situation but only temporarily.  So, be 
careful opening/cracking the valve with pressure on the system.
