REFLECTOR: Nose Gear Door

[RBrim]

John,

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like flying without the main gear doors works well, in fact reduces risk of them detaching and exiting through the prop, whereas sans front door is a loud, windy, uncomfortable experience.

I had 2 experiences.  The first was when my doors were missing due to a nose gear up landing.  The second was when the sequencing valve was not adjusted right and the doors did not close.  In both cases I experienced a deafening harmonic sound which went away when I lowered the gear.  This may be unique to my IVO prop.

Has anyone tried that or have any results from doing away with the nose gear doors on a retractable?
