REFLECTOR: Nose gear Hydraulic Regulator

[David Scharfenberg]

Steve,

  I used a flow control valve on my nose gear door cylinder as you
mentioned.  It came from a local hydraulic supply shop and cost $38.00 in
1995.  When my canard is off for the annual this month, I can look at the
make and model of the valve.  It seems like the body of the valve was about
1" x 1" x 2.5" with a knurled knob on top.  The knob adjusts the flow
(pretty sensitive) and a set screw locks the knob in position.  Sometimes
the gear up pressure switch will cause the pump to cycle once as the nose
doors slowly close.

I am wondering if anybody has a part number and a location for an inline
regulator for the nose gear hydraulic cylinder.  My nose gear doors slam
close and Scott Swing said some people are using an in line regulator to
slow them down.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Steve
