REFLECTOR: Video of NOSE GEAR DOOR DO-HICKEY

[Scott Derrick]

Does this system have any Flight time. 

I see another possible areas of concern.  The only thing holding the 
gear doors open are the springs, might the wind load push them partially 
closed? That would be a bad thing if you then retracted the gear.
